The first steps
Greenpeace celebrates the first significant steps in ensuring the future protection of Canada's Great Bear Rainforest on British Columbia's central and north coasts.
This region of one-thousand year old cedar trees, towering ancient spruce, grizzly, black and rare white "Spirit" bears, wild salmon, eagles, wolves and enormous biological diversity is globally rare and truly an international treasure worthy of protection.
These first steps by the forest industry and politicians toward ensuring a healthy future for the rainforest follow an intensive global campaign by Greenpeace to build a consensus of opposition among international buyers of forest products to the irresponsible destruction of B.C.'s last intact rainforests.
