The Story
After years of pressure by Greenpeace, the British Columbia Government announced a comprehensive solution for the Great Bear Rainforest including the protection of 2 million hectares of coastal temperate rainforest from the chainsaw, an area close to four times the size of Prince Edward Island.
Just as important, the announcement sets the stage for 2009 when sustainable logging practices called Ecosystem Based Management will be used in the entire rainforest. The Great Bear agreement also includes greater First Nations control over their traditional territory and a commitment to a new economy for the region based on conservation.
If all promises are kept, the agreement will create a global model of sustainability for other rare ecosystems around the world. Greenpeace needs your help to make sure the British Columbia government and logging industry make their commitments real on the ground.
Now, the true measure of success will be taking these agreements on paper and turning them into a reality in the rainforest.
Greenpeace needs your help to make sure the British Columbia government and logging industry make their commitments real on the ground.
Take Action and educate yourself about these agreements by attending a Great Bear Rainforest movie party.
