Save the Great Bear Rainforest
Target: Gordon Campbell, PremierSponsored by: Forest Ethics
The Great Bear Rainforest is the largest intact, unprotected coastal rainforest in the world. It is also home to one of the world's most mystical creatures—the pure white Spirit Bear.
In an historic effort, corporations and loggers have worked with environmentalists and local communities to create an agreement to protect the habitat of this magnificent creature. It’s called the Great Bear Rainforest Solution: a groundbreaking measure that outlines sustainable logging in British Columbia, Canada—and protects five million acres of rainforest from all logging.
It has taken eight years to craft this vital solution and gather support from a remarkably diverse coalition. But time is running out! The government must act to permanently protect the Great Bear by September 30, 2005—as it has promised!
Please urge Premier Campbell to ensure the survival of the rare white Spirit Bears, wild salmon, and 1,000-year-old cedar of the Great Bear Rainforest by supporting the Great Bear Rainforest Solution.

We must do everything that we can to protect nature. We need to protect wildlife, rainforest, oceans, streams & rivers, forests, fields, valleys, mountains. There are enough city's & buildings & deffinately enough parking lots. Lets protect the rest of the natural world that still exists, let's take a stand to stop destroying this planet.

The government must act to permanently protect the Great Bear as it has promised. All animals have the right to live on this planet. We, human being took to much place. It's our responsibilities now to protect the habitat of this magnificent creature.

I fell really strongly about this petition because i was a volunteer zoo keeper in a zoo in california and their was a brown bear named Zack who had a rare spine disease that ended up killing him. I was in his enviornment when he took his last breath. I was holding on to a 800 lb bear and just rocking him and comforting him. I want the bears to be safe and contuine to be with us because they have so much to offer and they have a very special place in my heart. Please don't pass this and make me relive losing Zack all over again.
