In September, 2019 the Roundtable on the Crown of the Continent (COC) held a conference that included participants from multiple Tribes, governments, non-governmental organizations (ENGO), conservation initiatives, land trusts, and universities. Their goal was discussing how they can take control over land use. Participants from Canada were also there, from Glacier National Park and Waterton Lakes National Park.
Areas they want control over include tourism, natural resources, habitat, and wildlife. There is also discussion about the need to protect areas for non-use, using conservation easements and designations as protected areas. This is a large area and will heavily impact both Alberta and British Columbia. The document can be read here.
