northern spotted owl

in british columbia, the northern spotted owl is about to disappear. it's habitat is being severely threatened, but instead of protecting this species and it's environment, the provincial government is planning to clear-cut trees near lillooet, bc. this is where you will find one of canada's last remaining spotted owl populations.

david suzuki's website has prewritten letters that you can send to gordon campbell, premier of bc, asking to call off bc timber's (the bc government's agency for logging operations) plan to log in the spotted owl's habitat. it take's under a minute to voice your opinion. ah, the convenience of armchair activism.

Bean's class studied the spotted owl last year and the whole class wrote letters to Gordon Campbell, they never even got a response.

that's awful. how are children supposed to learn that they can make a difference when they have role models like that?
