Protect the Northern Spotted Owl Habitat

There are few things as disturbing as extinction. Yet in British Columbia, the Northern Spotted Owl is perilously close to disappearing. In spite of this, the provincial government is planning to clearcut trees in Lost Valley, near Lillooet, BC, home to one of Canada’s last remaining spotted owl populations.

Tell Gordon Campbell, Premier of BC, to keep the chainsaws out of this critical habitat. Please visit the url provided and send a letter, it only takes two minutes to voice concerns about one of Canada's endangered species.

Lost Valley is home to more than the endangered Northern Spotted Owl. The valley is a thirty-kilometre biodiversity hotspot, with a mosaic of forests—ranging from dry ponderosa pine forests, to rainforest and sub-alpine forests—and a rich array of flora and fauna. Lost Valley is critical habitat to the local grizzly population, which the provincial government lists as threatened, and a rebounding mountain goat population.

Luckily, there are people that have developed workable solutions to preserve these forests for future generations. The local First Nation—the St’at’imc (pronounced Stat-lee-um)—has developed their own land-use plan that protects the natural and cultural heritage of Lost Valley and other nearby pristine wild lands. However, the B.C. government has plans of its own, which include mining, logging and development of a ski resort. You can help the St’at’imc by supporting their conservation minded land-use plan. www.statimc.net

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte.

Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.
