British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest has been dubbed one of the wildest places left on earth. It is home to rivers, lakes, mountains, valleys, ancient forests and of course, BC’s massive costal temperate rainforest and it is the largest of its kind in the world. With a variation of species such as wolves, cougars, birds, fish, deer, elk, Orcas, whales, and the most famous of them all, the Spirit Bear, “the rarest bear in the world. 
       However, despite its significant importance to the world, the Great Bear Rainforest is extremely threatened. The main threats to this unique ecosystem are: rampant clearcut logging, fish farms, the new CGL Pipeline and tankers, and possibly new oil pipeline. 
         My proposed National Park Reserve, would encompass 5 main islands as well as a good chunk of marine area. The 2 main islands are Pitt Island and Princess Royal Island (which has the most Spirit Bears on Earth). The land portion i am hoping to get set aside is around 4,700 km2 with the marine area being another 1,300 km2. These would make a total park size of nearly 6,000 km2 making it the largest national park in BC. 
        I would also propose to leave a channel out of the park, so to allow ship traffic to Kitimat.  
        As you can see the Great Bear Rainforest is a place like no other, sadly the government does not understand this. So it is our job to show them! By signing this petition, you are helping to preserve not only the Great Bear Rainforest, but BC’s future with it. Help save one of the natural wonders of the world and by doing so, helping to stop BC from destroying the “Amazon of the North”!

Thank you, and lets hear it for Great Bear Rainforest National Park!!!
