PROTECTING CANADA’S BOREAL FOREST FOR BIRDS:
Be a Part of the “Save Our Boreal Birds” Campaign
The Canadian Nature Network and the Boreal Songbird Initiative have developed a nation-wide petition to protect the most significant bird nursery in North America, the Boreal Forest.
Our goal is to have thousands of signatures on a petition asking for the protection of Canada’s Boreal Forest by May 10, 2008, which is International Migratory Bird Day. The petition will then be publicly submitted to federal and provincial leaders to demonstrate that citizens expect the Boreal to be protected and that the bird declines that we’ve been experiencing are not acceptable. We’re confident that this idea will raise political awareness of the issue and are hopeful that conservation announcements will follow.
We need your help to make this a big success! You can help us by:
· signing the petition at www.saveourborealbirds.org
· encouraging your members, friends and family to sign the petition and to pass it on to people they know
· posting a link to the petition on the homepage of your website (we can pass on a button for your website)
Thank you for your help. Together we can protect the Boreal Forest for birds.
