In the pilot episode of Ecocide, we look at two primary threats to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness: mining and climate change.Spanning over 1.1 million acres of boreal forest, glacial lakes, and winding rivers, the Boundary Waters is the largest wilderness East of the Rockies (and North of the Everglades), and one of the most pristine freshwater ecosystems in the world. But sulfide-ore copper mining and a rapidly changing climate now put this place at risk.In this episode, we speak with Pete Marshall of Friends of the Boundary Waters about the region’s ecological importance and the long history of political battles over its protection that continue to this day.Ecocide is an independent, on-location video podcast series that exposes how extractive industries threaten environments and outdoor recreation economies. Because we avoid brand sponsorships, projects like this are entirely funded by listeners and viewers.Support future episodes: <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/outdoorminimalist" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://buymeacoffee.com/outdoorminimalist</a>AND share this episode to help us grow the series.Thank you for caring about clean water and wild spaces as much as we do.Website: <a href="https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/</a>Instagram: <a href="instagram.com/outdoor.minimalist.book/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">instagram.com/outdoor.minimalist.book/</a>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@theoutdoorminimalist" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/@theoutdoorminimalist</a>----------------Written and Produced by Meg CarneyVideography and Editing by Alex CarneyGuest Interview with Pete Marshall from Friends of the Boundary Waters Special Thanks to Caitlin Vander Wal Creative Support from Ethan Wiese
