Save the Great Bear Rainforest
Target: Gordon Campbell, Premier
Sponsored 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.
