  • CANADA ALBERTA FORT CHIPEWYAN 22JUL09 - Greenpeace campaigner Christoph von Lieven bags a damaged whitefish caught by Orville Grandjambe on the river Quatrefouche, a tributary to Lake Athabasca, northern Alberta, Canada...In recent years, the frequency of deformities, lesions and cancers found in fish caught in Lake Athabasca has increased dramatically. Local residents suspect the rapidly expanding tarsands operations further upstream as the cause of their health concerns...The tar sand deposits lie under 141,000 square kilometres of sparsely populated boreal forest and muskeg and contain about 1.7 trillion barrels of bitumen in-place, comparable in magnitude to the world's total proven reserves of conventional petroleum. Current projections state that production will  grow from 1.2 million barrels per day (190,000 m³/d) in 2008 to 3.3 million barrels per day (520,000 m³/d) in 2020 which would place Canada among the four or five largest oil-producing countries in the world...The industry has brought wealth and an economic boom to the region but also created an environmental disaster downstream from the Athabasca river, polluting the lakes where water and fish are contaminated. The native Indian tribes of the Mikisew, Cree, Dene and other smaller First Nations are seeing their natural habitat destroyed and are largely powerless to stop or slow down the rapid expansion of the oil sands development, Canada's number one economic driver...jre/Photo by Jiri Rezac / GREENPEACE..© Jiri Rezac 2009
