Great Bear Rainforest
Photo Album
On Canada's Pacific coast lies one of the Earth's largest remaining tracts of temperate rainforest: the 8-million-acre Great Bear Rainforest. Once threatened with intense and destructive logging, the Great Bear's future now seems brighter after the announcement of a historic conservation agreement and the resulting protection of 5 million acres of the rainforest. These photos illustrate the amazing diversity of the Great Bear's ecosystem and the wildlife that call it home -- and testify to environmental activists' power to shape history.
