Jasper Environmental Association (JEA) is an environmental organization independently monitoring management of Jasper National Park in Canada’s Rocky Mountains. Critical wildlife habitat in the river valleys is being compromised by development. The future of woodland caribou - a species-at-risk- is threatened in wilderness areas of the Maligne and Tonquin Valleys. The Cheviot coal mine in Alberta, near the park boundary, now affects important seasonal habitat for Jasper’s grizzly bears.
 



ISSUES :

Marmot Basin : a slippery slope for wildlife
Cheviot mine : grizzlies vs. coal
Funding for parks : what price Canada's heritage?
Environmental assessments : mitigation magic
Woodland caribou : going, going ... gone?
Grizzly bear : it's up to Parks Canada
Wolverine : "species of special concern"
The wolf : architect of prey species
Montane ecoregion : heart of the park
Roads and rails : the killing machines
Fire : new life from the ashes
Forest thinning : two years on
Trails : sorting out the mess?
Dogs : not wildlife's best friend
Cavell Meadows : restored
Tonquin Valley : stuck in the mud
Maligne Valley : commercialization for future generations
