Canada: Rock-anchored ladders, glass-floored viewing platform threaten Banff, Jasper NPs, CPAWS says
With as few as 60 grizzly bears in Banff National Park, a well-known wilderness group says a via ferrata - which mounts ladders, metal rungs and bridges into rock - at Mount Norquay ski hill could damage a critical summer habitat for the threatened species.
Similarly, it says a plan to build a glass-floored viewing platform over the Sunwapta Valley in Jasper National Park could endanger wildlife.
