No Tankers

$Photo by @iantmcallister // Pacific Wild stands in solidarity with the Wet'suwet'en land defenders and their fight for sovereignty and rights over unceded territory. The Wet'suwet'en people have been fighting for years to protect their homeland and waterways from Coastal GasLink, a pipeline construction company owned by Chinese, Malaysian and Korean oil and gas interests. ⁣ ⁣ The proposal is to transport natural gas from the fracking fields of Northern B.C. to Kitimat in the #GreatBearRainforest. The Wet'suwet'en land defenders and accredited journalists continue to be arrested by militarized police using assault rifles and attack dogs in clear contravention of court injunctions and the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indiginous Peoples.⁣ ⁣ As the Wet'suwet'en people continue to block Coastal GasLink and their unlawful presence, they are also fighting to protect the environmental integrity of their traditional territory. Respecting Wet’suwet’en rights, protects Indigenous rights and ensures that Canada is not willingly contributing to #ClimateChange and the destruction of critical habitat for many endangered species. ⁣ ⁣ Follow @wetsuweten_checkpoint and @yintah_access for opportunities to support land defenders. ⁣ ⁣ #UNDRIP #LandBack #Wetsuweten #WetsuwetenStrong #Gidimten #BCpoli #CDNpoi #CoastalGaslink #Reconciliation$
