Saskatchewan, Manitoba, set to sell remaining grasslands for development.
from the Public Service Alliance of Canada
We have already lost more than 80 percent of the native prairie to development.
Now, the government of Saskatchewan is poised to sell more than 1.8 million acres of what remains of these iconic lands and potentially destroy a sustainable eco-system that delivers environmental and economic benefits. Manitoba may follow suit with a further 700,000 acres.
These breathtaking landscapes represent some of the last functioning prairie ecosystems on earth.
Until environmental protection and conservation guarantees are in place, the sale must be stopped.
