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 are losing our rainforests at an alarming rate. We cannot hope to ecologically balance our environment without them.

Please look deep inside and ask youself if we have the right to destroy the habitat and future of other species just because we were born human. All living things are part of magnificent whole created long before we ever existed. Have we the right to destroy the prescious lives with whom se share this planet's ecosystem simply for profit or greed?

Not only is it a unique ecosystem - one of the last great rainforests in the northern hemispere, but it's also the home of the Spirit Bear - an animal revered and honored by the native People that have called British Columbia "home" for much longer than their white oppressors. This ecosystem needs to be preserved, not wasted...
