The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is the most-visited wilderness in the U.S., boasting over a million acres of pristine lakes on the Minnesota-Canada border. On April 16, 2026, the Senate voted to strip its 20-year mining moratorium, using an obscure 1996 law meant for regulatory rules to bypass the usual 60-vote threshold. President Trump signed it into law 11 days later, clearing the way for a Chilean mining giant to pursue a copper mine five miles from the wilderness's edge.
This is a real-time episode, which means we're covering a story still unfolding. We trace how we got here and lay out exactly what's still in flux, and what you can do about it right now.
