Rally and Celebration to Protect Our Endangered Forests!

Wednesday, June 1st - Vancouver

Concerned citizens from across North America are converging to celebrate
and defend our remaining intact natural treasures and expose the hypocrisy
of today’s ‘sustainable’ forest industry

Speak out against the Global Forest and Paper Summit!

500 of the top forest executives from 27 countries, including over 60 CEOs
and government representatives, are meeting in Vancouver from June 1-3 to
discuss their “vision” for the next decade of the timber industry. The
forests can’t take ten more years of the forest industry!

Help send a strong message to the conference delegates that we have a
better vision, a vision of true sustainability for forests, wildlife and
people.

Join us for a Large Rally and

Endangered Species Migration!

When: Wednesday, June 1st at noon

Where: To join the Caribou migration, meet at the corner of
Denman and Georgia (Stanley Park side of Georgia St.)
Rally is at the Westin Bayshore Hotel, 1601 Bayshore Drive

Why: Critical decisions about the future of the world’s forests
are being made behind closed doors. Together we will raise our voices for
forest protection, not forest destruction.

Endangered Species Migration: Please come prepared to take part in mass
action to save endangered species habitat. Join the spectacular image of
over 100 salmon, owls, bears and caribou converging outside the conference
location. If you’d like to be a caribou, wear brown or grey: we’ll provide
the rest! Enjoy musicians, speakers and performers. Bring your own
noise-makers!
