ECO-ACTION:Boreal Forest in Canada
The traditional ways of life of the Indigenous communities in Canada's Heart of the Boreal Forest are threatened by clearcut logging, roadbuilding and industrial hydropower development. HELP SAVE THE HEART OF BOREAL FOREST BY ECO-ACTION!
Date: 6/17/2005 4:05:06 PM ( 19 y ) ... viewed 2708 times From National Resources Defense Council (NRDC):
"Canada has named part of the Heart of the Boreal Forest as a potential
World Heritage Site, which would mean urgently needed protections for this
imperiled region. But the Manitoba government is delaying protection against
industrial development in the meantime.
Please go to http://www.savebiogems.org/boreal/takeaction.asp
and send a message urging Manitoba Premier Gary Doer to grant interim
protection to the traditional territories of the Pauingassi First
Nation and the Little Grand Rapids First Nation.
Interim protection would enable these communities to proceed with their land use and conservation plans for the future Boreal Forest World Heritage Site.
Without interim protection of these lands and their wildlife, the
proposed World Heritage Site may be sacrificed before conservation planning can
be completed.
Please go to http://www.savebiogems.org/boreal/takeaction.asp
and tell the Manitoba government to grant interim protection to the
traditional territories of these First Nations so that they may plan for a future
World Heritage Site in this region.
Thank you for taking action.
Sincerely,
John H. Adams
President
Natural Resources Defense Council"
Thank you!
