I'll never understand how it's acceptable for a fraction of a percent of people to enrich themselves financially by polluting pristine lands that are enjoyed by so many. 🌲🎣🛶 #BWCA #MN #Canada @earthjustice.org @bwca.bsky.social @governorwalz.mn.gov
The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is facing an urgent threat: a copper‑nickel mine proposed on its doorstep. Pollution from the site could be carried downstream and spread through the region's lakes and into Canada — and once damage is done, it may be irreversible.
Will mining destroy America’s most-visited wilderness?
The Trump administration is moving rapidly to approve a mine next to the Boundary Waters that many fear will pollute the pristine wilderness area.

Joyce Wolford is alive today because of a cutting-edge NIH study.
Trump officials cut $2.7 BILLION from NIH funding in the first three months of this year.
The American people do not want us to slash lifesaving research to give tax breaks to billionaires.

Deep-sea mining poses *many* risks to our ocean, including disrupting America's:
🐠 Fishing industry: ~$300 BILLION annually
🏖️ Coastal economies: ~$44 BILLION in travel annually
@noaa.gov's mission is to protect our ocean, not destroy it.
