A little over two years ago, ForestEthics was delighted to share one of the biggest moments in our history with the world — the announcement of the Great Bear Rainforest Agreements in British Columbia. After a decade-long struggle to save the Great Bear Rainforest, BC Premier Gordon Campbell and his government agreed to protect 5 million acres — one-third of the Great Bear region — and promised legislation that would establish low-risk management in the remaining two-thirds by March 31, 2009.

Now, we need your help to make sure that Campbell and his government are still standing with us. There is less than one year left for the BC government to develop and implement an overall regional plan to ensure ecological integrity and human wellbeing in the Great Bear Rainforest — one of the most biologically diverse places on the planet.

Tell BC Premier Gordon Campbell and Agriculture and Lands Minister Pat Bell to keep their promises!

On March 31, 2008, ForestEthics and its allies unveiled a billboard on a main stretch of highway in BC that will count down the remaining months that Campbell and Bell have to live up to their commitment. The billboard message is clear — we’re closing in on the deadline to save the Great Bear Rainforest.

We need your support to let the government of British Columbia know that the world is watching to ensure the implementation and success of the Great Bear Rainforest Agreements. As the deadline approaches, we need you to take action now:

Send a message to BC Premier Gordon Campbell and Agriculture and Lands Minister Pat Bell.
