Odyssey to the Sacred Headwaters
Monday, January 19, 2015 at 12:10AM 
On February 12th the University of British Columbia is hosting a lecture by Wade Davis on the beauty of the Sacred Headwaters, the threats to it, and the response of native groups and concerned citizens.
Davis’ message: no amount of gold, copper or methane gas can compensate for the sacrifice of a place that could be the Sacred Headwaters of all Canadians, and indeed, of all peoples of the world.
For those of us outside the region a livestream of the lecture will be available on-line the day of the event.
David Suzuki calls Davis, "a rare combination of scientist, scholar, poet, and passionate defender of all life's diversity." If you have never had a chance to see Davis speak I would encourage you to tune in to the livestream and be prepared to be inspired. This is one of the last great wilderness areas on the planet and it deserves your attention and involvement in helping to protect it from rampant resource development.
If you can't watch the livestream, here is a 2012 TED talk that Davis gave in Long Beach concerning the myriad of threats to the region.
