What a disturbing situation, please read!

‼The Government of Alberta has removed habitat protections for the critically endangered greater sage-grouse with no public consultation or announcement. Helium extraction is moving forward on the formerly protected habitat.

📉There are fewer than 100 individuals of this magnificent, sensitive bird remaining in southeastern Alberta. University of Alberta professor and biologist Mark Boyce was quoted in a recent CBC article saying, “I think the birds are toast. I think we’re going to lose them all.”

🚫🎈Nature Alberta is calling on you to boycott the use of helium balloons while helium extraction is moving into critical greater sage-grouse habitat. The only inflated party balloons we need long-term are the ones on the chests of greater sage-grouse floating around leks in southern Alberta!

We also encourage you to contact the Minister of Environment and Protected Areas at [email protected] and your local MLA, especially if you live in southern Alberta, and voice your concern for sage-grouse and their habitat.
