UNESCO report says progress has been made, but more needs to be done to stop environmental threats in Wood Buffalo National Park
A United Nations body has affirmed earlier findings that Canada’s largest national park remains under environmental threats from dams, oil sands development and climate change.
“Major concerns remain about the lack of progress in addressing cumulative impacts from industrial developments around the property,” the report says. In 2018, Ottawa developed a plan to revive the park and Friday’s report was an assessment of how well it’s working. “The of the property remains highly threatened, with continued negative trends for key attributes,” it says.
It calls on Canada to conduct an independent risk assessment of the threat posed by oil sands tailings ponds “urgently and before the end of 2024.”
