PROTECTION OF GWAII HAANAS Sample Clauses

PROTECTION OF GWAII HAANAS. Concerted efforts to protect Gwaii Haanas were first made in 1981 when logging was proposed for Burnaby Island. As traffic increased, the Haida Nation established the Haida Gwaii (Gwaii Haanas) Watchmen program in the area as a means of looking after significant cultural sites. In 1985, the Haida Nation designated Gwaii Haanas as a Heritage Site. In the same year, a political stand-off over Lyell Island focused the eyes of the world on Gwaii Haanas and it became recognized as a natural area of international significance. At issue was a land ownership dispute and a land use conflict.
