BC's Most Endangered Rivers of 2012
This year marks the 20th annual “most endangered rivers” list from the Outdoor Recreation Council (ORC). The preparation of this list is the most comprehensive initiative of its kind in Canada. It is an accurate snapshot of the issues that face our rivers and those facing the greatest threat to their ecological health. Please join us in this effort to raise awareness and engage all British Columbians in the better management and conservation of our rivers.
The deadline for nominations for the 2012 Endangered Rivers List was Monday March 5.
Each year, the Endangered Rivers List is compiled by
ORC and released to media outlets across BC and
Canada. It receives significant media attention,
highlighting the rivers and issues that are most
important to British Columbians.
