Yukon 's Na-Cho Nyak Dun First Nation says an independent review of a disaster at the Eagle Gold mine on its territory is urgently needed but it has serious concerns the Yukon government is trying to "erase" its role in the probe.

The First Nation says it will only support the review board's work if it can "co-manage" the process and appoint it's own advisors to work alongside those tapped by the Yukon government. "There is therefore a much larger story to the June 24 Eagle Gold disaster than a mere accident, technical anomaly, or isolated instance of oversight," the letter said.

The charity’s countryside and ranger teams have worked to restore hectares of peatlands, meadows, wetlands, woodlands and saltmarsh across the UK.The Affric Highlands is a 30-year initiative aimed at restoring habitats over half-a-million acres from Loch Ness to the west coast.
