Save the Boundary Waters is leading the effort to ensure permanent protection for the Wilderness from toxic sulfide-ore copper mining.
Northeastern Minnesotans for Wilderness (NMW), which leads the Campaign to Save the Boundary Waters, was formed in 1996 to continue working to protect the Boundary Waters and other wild places against ever-increasing public and commercial pressures so that the area’s wild character remains intact for future generations. In September 2013, the national coalition, called the Campaign to Save the Boundary Waters, was formed to create a national movement to protect the Boundary Waters from sulfide-ore copper mining. It is led and funded by NMW.
Today, NMW is the largest conservation organization in Minnesota that focuses on protecting and preserving the Boundary Waters and greater Quetico-Superior region.
