Nahanni NP

Hello CGC1D8-B, this is Nick, Uzair and Zaki's twitter account for Nahanni National Park. Don't forget to answer the questions with the #stopthemine :)

@Jasper_National It would be a bad idea to shift the funds more towards one area. This can cause the funds to be unbalanced - N #STEA

[Nahanni NP @NahanniNP_]

@GFSS_Revelstoke Um we can map out all the open space and the relocate the animals to spaces that are less disturbing N #STEA

[Nahanni NP @NahanniNP_]

@Jasper_National @GrasslandsGFSS @GFSS_Revelstoke I agree, a reserve would be ideal for the moose, a perfect compromise for the success of the mine and moose safety. Z #StopTheMine

[Nahanni NP @NahanniNP_]

@waterton_lakes Reducing the mine size isn't possible as the mine has already been established, another group suggested seasonal closures. Z #StopTheMine

[Nahanni NP @NahanniNP_]

@Jasper_National @GrasslandsGFSS @GFSS_Revelstoke However, in the situation where the park refuses to sacrifice tourism for the moose, this idea would be plausible. - Z #StopTheMine

[Nahanni NP @NahanniNP_]

@Jasper_National 2. Of course the predicament isn't fair, but people have to argue, or sacrifice struggle of animal species for tourism. - Z #StopTheMine

[Nahanni NP @NahanniNP_]

@Jasper_National 1. No, the National Park is designed to protect wildlife and ecosystems, not entertainment for citizens. - Z #StopTheMine

[Nahanni NP @NahanniNP_]

@yohopark I agree, but the zinc being mined is more valuable to the mine than contributing to the economy in my opinion. - Z #StopTheMine

[Nahanni NP @NahanniNP_]

Here's another question, is the zinc being mined and the money worth the endangerment of the caribou? #StopTheMine

[Nahanni NP @NahanniNP_]

@yohopark What I meant to say was that would the mine be willing to compromise closing and losing money and minerals. - Z #StopTheMine

[Nahanni NP @NahanniNP_]

@GrosMourne Moose hunting on the rise creates a disturbance in the natural food chain, which might lead to under/overpopulation. - Z #grosmorneiscool

[Nahanni NP @NahanniNP_]

@NP_Forillon Coastal erosion is sensitive to sea level rise and warmer ocean temperature, things global warming increases. - Z #StopTheMine

[Nahanni NP @NahanniNP_]

@GrosMourne At that point it would be time to put forward a moose recovery system - Z #Grosmorneiscool

[Nahanni NP @NahanniNP_]

@GFSS_Revelstoke The problem is the mine has already been built overlapping the moose habitat - Z #stopthemine

[Nahanni NP @NahanniNP_]

@GrasslandsGFSS @GfssP No because tourism attracts revenue and profit which can be spent towards eliminating invasive species. -Uzair #SaveGNP

[Nahanni NP @NahanniNP_]

@GrasslandsGFSS They spent money to keep invasive fish out of Kejimkujik b/c fishing is a big industry in Nova Scotia with 25k people employed. -U #SaveGNP

[Nahanni NP @NahanniNP_]

@GrosMourne Either the goverment decides to stop the killing or the kill continues to a point where the mooses could go extinct – Nick

[Nahanni NP @NahanniNP_]

@waterton_lakes The issue of bringing invasive species can also be monitored by the visitors to reduce the impact that they are bringing - Z #StopTheMine

[Nahanni NP @NahanniNP_]

@waterton_lakes Although fire's create pollution, logging is time-consuming, having an increased effect on nearby ecosystems. - Z #StopTheMine

[Nahanni NP @NahanniNP_]

@yohopark Seasonal closures would aid in keeping certain species alive, but what damage will the mine be willing to compromise? #StopTheMine
