The United Nations body that oversees World Heritage Sites is approving a report that finds Wood Buffalo National Park's place on that list is in danger.
At a meeting in Saudi Arabia, UNESCO delegates voted to approve an investigation that found the park remains under environmental threats from dam construction in British Columbia, oilsands development and climate change.Five of those recommendations pertain specifically to threats posed by the oilsands, upstream of the park.
In 2018, Ottawa developed a plan to revive the park and the report was an assessment of how well it's working. Of 15 objectives for the park, UNESCO says two are improving, five are stable and seven are deteriorating.
