FORT MCMURRAY, Alta.—Greenpeace has launched a “whistleblower” campaign to gather anonymous tips about injured wildlife or environmental damage caused by the oilsands.
But officials with Alberta Environment and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers say they’re worried people will call the Greenpeace line rather than the government agency’s emergency line when wildlife is in distress.
The move comes after the environmental group said it alerted provincial officials about a flock of loons landing on a blowdown pond at the ConocoPhillips Surmont site on the weekend.
