Help make sure we can continue to fight reckless carbon intensive projects and preserve species’ critical habitat.
It’s here. Today, after thousands of hours of preparation and research, we’ll finally appear in court to make the case that the federal government broke the law when it abandoned its legal responsibilities to protect endangered species and approved the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline project.
Since launching this case, the support of people like you has made sure that we can defend Southern Resident killer whales from the threats posed by reckless fossil fuel expansion. Thank you.
The Kinder Morgan pipeline would increase the number of tankers passing through the Southern Resident killer whales’ critical habitat in the Salish from 60 to more than 400 tankers each year. That translates to almost seven times more tanker traffic, underwater noise, pollution, and risk of a major oil spill.
Recent research has shown that the population has declined from 82 whales at the time of the NEB hearing to only 76. And that’s not all. According to our clients’ uncontroverted expert evidence, there’s a more than 50 per cent chance that this iconic species will become effectively extinct in this century if this project moves ahead.
We’ve spent the better part of the last decade winning court battles to protect killer whales. We’re determined to win this one too. That’s why we’re counting on your help.
Please donate today and support the fight to shut the door on Kinder Morgan. Help us protect the Southern Resident killer whales.
This issue is very important to me but I am unable to donate at this time. Thank you for all you are doing.
Keep up a good fight. These whales need you to speak on their behalf.
Thank you!
The salmon are under stress. The numbers decreasing for years now due to fish farming, warming marine environment, fish farm escapement competing, spawning deterrent mats placed in streams and rivers…and that is before Kinder Morgan has completed their pipeline and the tanker traffic has been increased. A 2 year old Orca has died of malnutrition. Salmon is a keystone species and with their numbers dwindling and threatening survival, the Orca do not need to suffer at the expense of lining the ridiculously rich, corrupt and greedy pockets of an industry that is on it’s way out. it is a foolish idea. That is not worth the risk.
Well said. I feel inspired by your and other’s comments. I am a monthly donor to Ecojustice but will add a bit more this month because I want to keep fighting the reckless decisions being made at the expense of other species.
Thank you! Your monthly support is greatly appreciated.
I have also donated heavily through the election process in BC and challenging Trudeau’s betrayals like Proportional Representation campaigns. Also given to many grass roots organizations…Dogwood, Coast Protectors, Lead Now, Green Party, Greenpeace etc.. At this time I am not able to contribute but I will continue to support the battle to preserve the west coast ecosystem in any way I can.
As a lifetime west coast boater, it sickens me to realize that our iconic South Van Isle Orcas could, and likely will, become extinct in our lifetime due to governmental policies promoting profit over environment. YOU CAN’T COME BACK FROM EXTINCT !
Unable to donate but will spread the word.
Protect our seas! Protect our wildlife! Find alternative ways Kinder Morgan!
