The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is threatened by sulfide-ore copper mining. The Campaign to Save the Boundary Waters is leading the effort to ensure permanent protection for the Boundary Waters Wilderness, America's most visited Wilderness and Minnesota's crown jewel, from proposed sulfide-ore copper mining.
Antofagasta's Twin Metals project should never have gotten this far. The U.S. Forest Service unequivocally concluded in 2016 that sulfide-ore copper mining posed an unacceptable risk to the Boundary Waters, America's most popular Wilderness. This conclusion has never been refuted. We can't rely on hollow promises from an international mining company with a history of environmental degradation and political corruption to protect the Boundary Waters.
Please take action now to permanently protect the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness from sulfide-ore copper mining in the Rainy River Watershed.
