Im going home Donny Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 1.8-million hectare park is B.C.'s gift to the planet-by Ian Bailey B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell yesterday called the creation of a massive conservation park on B.C.'s central and North coast "an unprecendeted collaberation" between industry, environmentalits and native groups. An area about three times the size of P.E.I. will be protected from logging under the agreement. "Today we announce the culmination of an unprecidented collaboration, a collaboration between First Nations, communities, conservationists ,industry and government in support of a provincial land-use decision for the central and the North coast of British Columbia,"said Mr.CAmpbell. "The Great Bear Rainforest is Canadas Amazon and todays announcement is British Colombia's gift to the planet," said Merran Smith, director of Forest ethics, a group devoted to protecting the worlds endangered forests. "Literally, hundreds of rainforest valleys will be saved from the chainsaw." Under the plan, 1.2 million hectares of protected areas will be added to an existing 600,000 hectares already protected, including The Great Bear Rain forest that is home to the Kermode bear, a black bear with white fur. The 1.8-million hectare area includes 200,000 hectares of the bears habitat. The agreement, trumpeted at a ceremony attended by environmentalists, First Nations officials and industry representatives effectively ends the decade-old war in the woods between conservationists and logging and mining interests. The agreement also gives First Nations several options for input managing the resources in the region. Mining and tourism on three percent of the central coast and 10 percent of the North coast will be allowed. Many of those groups involved in the collaborative agreement were present during a ceremony yesterday in Vancouver. "Everybody that was involved had the ability to say 'no' at different points in time," said Reynold Hert, president and CEO of Western Forest products, one of four forestry companies involved in negotiations."

bradm Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 There's also this report that describes a technology that could give people "super vision". Not enough? How about a possible cure for AIDS, or a self-cleaning toilet. And, finally, a Bush appointee has resigned in disgrace. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asparagus Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 This was Gordon Campbell's government, right? Is there a catch? This is the government that wanted to (or did?) privatize the caretaking of places like the Carmanah and Walbran (and all other BC parks) valleys, if I'm not mistaken.
