Cash Minerals is proposing a project with 4 airstrips and spur roads that will have serious long term impacts on the tourism businesses that depend upon the Wind River for their rafting, paddling and other outdoor activities. 
Fortunately tourism operators have a united voice, The Wilderness Tourism Association of the Yukon, to express their concerns about the project to the Yukon Environmental Socioeconomic Assessment Board (YESEB). It’s important we tell policy makers that tourism is a legitimate land use and deserves consideration in land use planning. Tourism generates economic benefits for wilderness areas and it needs to be recognized as an important stakeholder.
