Save the Boundary Waters is a non-profit organization based in Ely, Minnesota, dedicated to securing permanent protection for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness from proposed sulfide-ore copper mining. The group advocates for environmental safeguards and works to mobilize public support and partnerships to address risks to the BWCA and surrounding landscapes. Serving audiences concerned with public lands and watershed health, the organization emphasizes conservation outcomes and policy attention to mineral exploitation threats in the region. With a small to medium-sized staff, the organization operates from Minnesota and engages with communities and partners to advance its conservation objectives. A recent development includes collaboration with Kakookies in a joint initiative, reflecting ongoing efforts to broaden outreach and support for its mission.
