Gordon Nelson and the magnificent Nahanni

Gordon Nelson is an esteemed conservationist who has been involved with CPAWS since its early days. His legacy of civic activism, professional publications, thematic conferences, and mentoring of students who now practice in the parks and protected areas field across the country has served as a cornerstone of conservation in Canada.

He recently published "The Magnificent Nahanni: The struggle to protect a wold place," a book which explores the 40+ year struggle to protect the river from pollution, habitat disturbance, and wildlife losses stemming from mining and other development. CPAWS had the privilege of interviewing Nelson about his time with the organization, his thoughts on conservation, and his book.
