Nahanni is a spectacular wilderness area in the Mackenzie Mountains of Canada’s Northwest Territories. The South Nahanni River flows through the heart of the wilderness, and its corridor is protected as the Nahanni National Park Preserve. Unfortunately, the designation does little to protect the river’s surrounding watershed. Our grant to Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society supports the group’s effort to expand the park boundary to protect the river’s entire 15,0000-square-mile watershed.
