Protecting Paradise with Elizabeth May

Elizabeth May is one of the hardest working people in politics.
She is the Green Party MP for the Saanich-Gulf Islands and
served as leader of the Green Party of Canada from 2006-2019. She
also has a long record as a dedicated advocate for social
justice, the environment, and human rights.


Her book Paradise Won: The Struggle to Create Gwaii Haanas
National Park Reserve details the epic 12-year struggle to stop
logging this unique global ecosystem.


Coming up on the park’s 30 year anniversary, we spoke with
Elizabeth May about Paradise Won, bringing back into focus this
remarkable story of the power and importance of Indigenous
rights, and to talk about how activism can spur average citizens
to action in order to fight climate change and protect fragile
ecosystems everywhere.
