Happy New Year from Rivers Without Borders!

All of us at Rivers Without Borders hope that everyone out there had an excellent holiday season, no matter how or when you celebrate it. Living north of 60, Solstice is a big celebration for my family and many of our friends. We hanker for that longest night that symbolizes the eventual return of the sun, synthesis of vitamin D, … and a little later even outdoor warmth, bears and plants with leaves.

While the many months of winter and the accompanying dark can test ones resolve not to burden the climate with a trip to the tropics somewhere around February, we can certainly count our blessings living in a place where human activities have not made the same mark on the land that they have further south. As we move into 2008, our resolution here at Rivers Without Borders is to keep it that way. Why repeat the errors made and harm done in other places? The transboundary region is a very special place and we work every day to ensure that it is recognized as such and gets managed to maintain its unique values.

May 2008 be a great year for Grizzly bears, wild salmon, caribou, wolves, moose, mountain goats, thin horn sheep, black bears, eulachon, bald eagles, and every other species that loves this part of the world … including you and yours!
