A methane battle is brewing

A methane battle is brewing.
Back in 1978, a young Wade Davis scored the job of his dreams. Hired as a park ranger to explore and map B.C."s newly established Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Park, he had a wonderfully vague job description: wilderness assessment and public relations. In two seasons he 'related' to fewer than a dozen visitors. The Spatsizi belongs to a vast region claimed by the Tahltan people as their traditional territory and is often described as the Serengeti of Canada. It"s a mountain wilderness of stunning beauty, occupying almost 700,000 hectares in northwest B.C., an area where some of the province"s greatest rivers, including the Nass, Stikine, Finlay, and Skeena, start their journey as trickles in an alpine meadow. Much has changed for Davis since he hiked, scrambled, and paddled around this region in the late 1970s.
