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.

Bears are a part of history, a part of canada, a part of all of us. Canada would not be canada without the bear, just as it would without the beaver. Canada is the place that it is because of the land, the animals, the freedom and space that we leave nature.

If we plan to save the Great Bear from total devastation, "we" must act now, that means you & I. I'm doing my part, are you?

These bears are here for a reason, just like us humans are. We are here to protect life. Let's do it.

I wish to encourage you to move forward with your promises of protection. It is in movements of progression that are inclusive that bring light to everyone. Acts such as these will create new foundations with a clearer foundation of values and vision. Steps such as these promote healthy balanced guidlines, which are truly in need of restructuring. I commend you for creating such measures that will only positively effect all people, nations and most importantly our sacred mother nature. Thankyou.

In today's world we are losing so many resources, animal species etc. at an alarming rate. It is our duty to preserve as much natural habitat and as many creatures from each habitat as possible. Have a conscience...be human...do the right thing.

The bears are a unique species with a specific habitat and everything possible should be done to protect that area so that future generations may seen what beauties nature can create.

Great Bears are something we need to keep - there's no going back once they are gone.

Dear Premier Campbell, It is essential to protect those few areas, as yet untouched by human endeavour, for the benefit of our children's children. The Great Bear Rain-forest is more than a tree farm or resource for lumber companies, it is a living testament of our ability to keep our promises to the first nations and willingness to protect the bio-diversity of British Columbia. Thank You

Enough is enough. When are 'we' all going to realise that every creature (including humanity)is apart of our living planet, Earth. Can you imagine life without trees and forests, let alone the magnificent animals that know that environment as home.

I dont' think Premier Campbell should act to protect the Great Bear Rainforest. Bears kill over 1000000 people every year.

We need the Great Bear Rainforest left to maintain what we have left, both as animal habitat and as a Rain Forest. Too much is gone already; no wonder bears are seeking to live elsewhere, where else can they go?
