Follow the Thelon River Expedition

In the summer of 2011, The Nature Conservancy’s lead scientist Dr. M Sanjayan and Canada Program Director Dr. Richard Jeo went on an expedition through one of Canada’s most pristine areas with young members of the Lutsel K’e Dene First Nation.

They traveled by canoe along the Thelon River ending in North America’s largest and most remote wildlife refuge, the Thelon Game Sanctuary.
