January 29/2007 -
The mountain caribou is one of the most endangered mammals in North America and an icon for the magnificent Inland Temperate Rainforest region in eastern British Columbia. Industrial logging is not only destroying caribou habitat, but also diminishing opportunities for nature lovers and recreation enthusiasts to enjoy this spectacular region.

Right now, the government of British Columbia is deciding how much caribou habitat it will protect and has prepared a draft mountain caribou recovery plan. Your comments are needed on the draft mountain caribou recovery plan. Take Action NOW!

The draft plan proposes protecting less habitat than the government's mountain caribou science team said would be necessary to fully recover the herds. The proposed plan would instead rely more on predator control -- killing wolves and cougars -- as the primary means of restoring caribou, and would leave much of mountain caribou habitat open to logging, motorized recreation and other industrial uses.

Protecting less habitat will not only diminish chances that caribou will persist in both Canada and the U.S., but could also restrict the international movements of rare carnivores, most of which are listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.

Please tell the BC government that habitat protection is the cornerstone of an effective mountain caribou recovery plan. Please send your email before February 28, 2007. Take Action NOW!

Mountain caribou herds in British Columbia anchor a small population of caribou that range into north Idaho, Washington and northwest Montana. Conserving caribou in the US is absolutely dependent on the effectiveness of recovery efforts in Canada and how much of the mountain caribou's inland temperate rainforest habitat is protected.

International pressure is critical for the recovery of this endangered species. Send your comment TODAY!

Thank you for taking action for mountain caribou!

If you go to the link on top, you will find live links to the places where you can e-mail a form letter or write your own to the council deciding on how much caribou habitat to let the timber corporations have for deforestation. { I placed that link at the bottom here too ]

BC is the only place these animals are found, and when we shove them out of their habitat, there will be no more of them, with no-one to blame but ourselves, for we ARE the Province of British Columbia. Sure, it is a corrupt governmment and outrageous corporate culture that are really the ones wrecking the place, but we tend to 'not do as much as we can' - so here is a place to do something, so please do:

They're animals. I get so tired of people worrying more about animals then other people.

too tired

ya, I guess you are right, ok, too much effort to send an e-mail,
or really, to even CARE at all.
let them die out. No biggie.

For shame!! - that we would not have animals in the wild, just because the most successfull species EVER [humans] has some individuals that are not doing well.
Phooey, that is an excuse - you are just too tired I think. Please re-consider your decision to not care.
