In Photos: The Canadian Mining Boom You’ve Never Seen Before​

In summer of 2017 photographer Garth Lenz visited the transboundary region and captured jaw-dropping photos of the massive Canadian mines in operation and under development in B.C. on our shared transboundary salmon rivers.

The Fish on My Plate

"We're sitting ducks downstream. There are ticking timebombs upriver that have to hold back that [mine] waste in perpetuity. Just over the border, in the Taku watershed, is the best coho salmon rearing habitat in the world...we need to decide as a society, not just a few companies, not just one government, how do we all want to see this place a long, long time from now."
