Great Bear Rainforest in the Fall

Representing one quarter of the world’s remaining coastal temperate rainforest, the Great Bear Rainforest stretches along the mainland coast of British Columbia to the Alaska border, covering an area the size of Switzerland—the largest intact coastal temperate rainforest on the planet. A spectacular forest ecosystem with many pristine valleys, the Great Bear Rainforest is also known as 'Canada's Amazon' for its dense web of natural life including towering ancient trees, grizzly bears, salmon, wolves, and the rare white spirit bear. On March 31st, 2009, the government of British Columbia announced the implementation of the most comprehensive rainforest conservation plan in North American history for the Great Bear Rainforest - the result of a decade-long campaign and one of the longest in Greenpeace history.
