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.
Dear Premier Campbell,
I urge you to ratify the Great Bear Rainforest consensus package that was recently negotiated with First Nations. These agreements are the result of years of negotiations and planning involving many stakeholders.
These agreements require that you and your Cabinet formally and permanently protect one third of the region from logging, implement Ecosystem Based Management, and match the philanthropic money contributed to diversify local economies and broaden business opportunities in the region.
This is the one of the world’s rarest and most endangered forests and the largest unprotected coastal temperate rain forest left on Earth. The world is watching and waiting for these agreements to be ratified, as you have committed, by September 2005.
The time to act is now. Please let me know what steps your government is taking to ensure the September deadline is met.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
