Please Help Me
Posted by Robin Easton under: Hobnobbin' with Robin .
Today I ask — no, I beg — for your help, my friends. Another plea to protect the wild unexpectedly fell into my lap. This time it came from Canada’s beautiful province, of British Columbia (BC). Although we’ve never met, I am deeply honored that Geraldine Cahill would request my assistance. Geraldine is the Great Bear Rainforest Online Media Campaigner.
This plea is of SUCH great importance because The Great Bear Rainforest is the largest…I repeat…largest…tract of intact coastal temperate rainforest left on Earth…on Earth. (SEE VIDEO BELOW) It comprises over 30,000 square miles–about the size of Austria. This place is filled with wild magic and is home to three kinds of bears: the grizzly, the black and the rare white spirit bear, plus millions of migratory birds, 3000 genetically distinct salmon stocks (incredible) and many species of plants unique to the region.
Two years ago, British Columbia committed to protecting this region under a new conservancy. The provincial government, logging companies, First Nations and environmentalists all agreed to a new approach to resource planning developed by an independent team of scientists, and committed to its implementation by March 31, 2009. While some progress has been made, BC must still come up with a regional plan to ensure the protection of this enchanted forest. With the March 2009 deadline rapidly approaching, ForestEthics is running a campaign to help secure the fate of this ancient rainforest.
I beg you to help me by sending a “one click” message to the government of British Columbia, urging them to keep their promise to the world. There is no letter writing, only clicking and 2 minutes of your time to save scared Earth: CLICK HERE. Just as this fell in my lap for some reason, it is falling into yours. There are no coincidences. This is a “call from the wild”, something you can do RIGHT NOW to protect the Earth for your children and grandchildren…and the Earth itself.
I pray with all my heart that you will help me. Please go HERE and “click” to send the letter. Once again I must draw on your help and ask you to Stumble, Digg, or “other” this post as well as forward it to anyone you think might help protect this ancient forest. The “SHARE/BOOKMARK BUTTON” is just beneath the video (BELOW). Thank you my dear friends.
Love,
Robin

Dear Lance, thank you for these kind words of appreciation; they really do encourage me, especially on days like to day when I feel a bit down about it all. You know, it REALLY does make a difference to hear this.

Done! We had a White Spirit Bear in Juneau a few years back, it followed just within view of my daughter and son-in-law while they were hiking the mountain areas there… Beautiful bear!
Robin Easton Writes:
Dear K, What an amazing experience they had. I am so glad you told me that. That would be SUCH a thrilling experience. I’d be so excited that I don’t know if I would even bother to photograph it. I think I would just sit and take it in. And yes, they are such beautiful bears. Thank you for sharing this.

Hi Julie, Thank you for doing this. Also glad to here you thought it was “easy”. I know you understand and love the wild like I do. And thank you for letting me know about the “second click”; I will try and fix it tomorrow.

I’m so very glad that you wrote about the Great Bear Rainforest. I want to share something with you that I have just been reading
“There is a moratorium in place here; not only for oil and gas development, but also for oil tankers in coastal waters. Yet somehow these tankers have been given tacit permission to repeatedly transit their dangerous cargo through this jagged, labyrinthine coastline. Worse still, there are plans for pipelines to bring crude oil from Alberta’s tar sands to the coast, for loading onto supertankers leaving Kitimat at an estimated pace of 2-3 per week. And it’s not just oil, it’s an energy goldrush that threatens the coast; plans for wind farms, micro-hydro and natural gas pipelines are all in the works for the Great Bear Rainforest.
We need to stop and consider what’s at stake. If enacted, many of these projects will have profound environmental and social effects. Without a doubt, there will be oil and chemical spills, both catastrophic and chronic. There will be conflict with fragile ecosystems, including already threatened species and populations. And still more, there will be consequences that we cannot yet begin to comprehend.”

Robin Easton Writes:
Dear TT, Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this with me. It brought tears to my eyes, and yet at the same time it made me REALLY glad that I posted this plea for help…and that Geraldine Cahill approached me. I am also very heartened that you are this aware of the situation. It must be very painful for you as it is in your backyard (so to speak). I’ve been in that type of situation…I still am every day…everywhere I go I see it. I’ve traveled so much in my life that I now see and feel the whole Earth as my backyard and want to protect it all. I wish I could. I know you understand what I mean. …And the Great Bear is heaven on Earth for me. Beauty beyond words. In a perfect world we would all be on our knees weeping over it’s rich intimate beauty and giving gratitude for it’s very existence. If you know of more I can do to further this cause always let me know. Thank you again. Heart you, Robin

Thank you Robin for bringing things like this to us. I think about you every day and so I think about the wilderness too as never before.
Robin Easton Writes:
My Dear David, Thank you from my heart for your continued support, in so many ways. Your line: “…I think about the wilderness too as never before.” This touched me deeply and I see the beauty of nature on your site ALL the time. Your autumn trees and leaves are just magical and from an almost forgotten world. Also loved your Halloween skeletons!! Precious photography! LOL

Bird Says:
13 November 2008 at 2:33 am.
Done. I could write much about the venal and corrupt treatment of the forests of Canada by its government, having been a forest campaigner and activist in the past I have some hair raising tales to tell. But I burned out very quickly, the stamina needed for this kind of work is beyond me. If you don’t mind a cheeky link drop (I’ll understand if you edit it out), some real full-on passionate forest campaigners can also be found here:- http://www.taigarescue.org/ Their work is very dear to my heart.
Robin Easton Writes:
Hey my dear BIRD friend, Thank you, thank you! I had no idea you worked as a forest campaigner and activist. You are FULL of surprises. Now you have my curiosity peaked as to your hair raising tales. I can only imagine some of the things you must have witnessed. I also know about the burnout doing this type of work. It really takes some stamina; I know firsthand. I also hear it over and over again from people involved in protecting Mother Earth. It’s grueling work both physically and emotionally.
Also, I am VERY happy to have you do your “cheeky link drop”!!! LOL Nature needs all the help she can get! So you go for it girl…always!

You always find ways to reconnect your readers to the basics of nature. As it happens, I am heading to BC later in November. It is a priceless treasure of wilderness that merits protection and respect. As people evolve to treat nature like they would treat a loved one, then this is when the world will be appreciated on new levels. We live the life we create. Feel the magic in natural surroundings all around you. Connect with it however you choose. Just do it for soul.
Robin Easton Writes:
Dearest Liara, Thank you for your kind and beautiful words. I agree that when we can feel Nature as “self”, as something we love like our mother or family or self then we truly live in a state of phenomenal grace and beauty. Nature will respond to our love with more love. She always does. — I am so glad you are going to BC. Drink it all in. Become it and you will go away so full and rich.

Dear Tara, Thank you for doing this. I am very pleased. You are getting right down to the bottom line truth when you say, “We must take care of Mother Earth, she cares for us daily.” So many have forgotten this seemingly simple reality. Yet it is a reality that has profound and grave repercussions if we don’t heed it. Thank you for taking the time to remind us, as we must never forget! I am SO glad that you see.

Robin Easton Writes:
Dear Margo, I am blown away that you did this. I can hardly believe you went this extra step. I am very moved that you would take the time and effort to do it. Remarkable. Things like this (what you just did) make all the difference in the world. Bless you from me and the Earth.

As one who has has lived most of his life in Beautiful British Columbia, rest assured my vote is cast! As a young man I had the great privilege of visiting the park, and I can tell you first hand that the video, as beautiful as it is, does not do it proper service. Incidentally, it is also the first time I ever saw (and smelled) a dead whale up close and personal. I’m not sure how it cane to be on the beach, but even dead it was a creature of awesome beauty. As for the smell… well that’s a story for another day, heh. The park, and indeed all the wild lands in BC and around the world, are a gift that must be preserved, both for us and our future generations.
Cheers, Marc
Robin Easton Writes:
Hey my dear friend, how are you? Of course you would appreciate this effort. I forgot that you also live in BC. No, I bet the video doesn’t even come close to the real thing. They rarely do, huh? You are not only lucky to have seen this beautiful rainforest but you saw a whale up close. Although it was dead I too would feel the powerful beauty of it. What an once in a lifetime experience. You know me, I would want to touch it….no matter how badly it smelled. Thank you for your help and encouragement here. Thank you for seeing and appreciating the wild places.

Best of luck on this

Dear Susie, what a treat…a new and supportive voice here. Yes, even with all the destruction of Earth, it is still the most profoundly beautiful place, beauty beyond words. Thank you, Susie, for your help in this. I really do appreciate it.

Namaste’ Dear Robin I am a member of quite a few different organizations up here in Canada that help protect cdn wildlife and habitat. It is my life’s work to do what I can in these areas. All my family live in B.C some living very close to where the spirit bear lives. The young boy that started the largest spirit bear organization also had a movie made about him. Which was phenom. Thank you for posting about this here!!! I can tell you dear Robin that no video can come close to the real thing, but it sure inspires and if it inspires people that don’t even live in our country to help, then that is the magic and beauty occurring for change.

Robin Easton Writes:
Dear Sky, It doesn’t surprise me at all that you are a member of “Earth-protective” orgs. And yet, I am still so grateful that you are, more so than I can express in this little comment. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so involved. —I did not know that your family lived in this area. Lucky them. —I will have to look into the the young boy’s Spirit Bear org. I’d love to read about that…and see the movie. I’ve not yet seen it. —I know what you mean about the video. If I could somehow capture the smells, sights and sounds of wild areas and place them on this page I would. I hope to at some point at least do the sound and sight part! If I could do that I think more people might better “feel” and “hear” the Earth talking to them. But as you say, the video still gets across enough to inspire people. Thank YOU my wild soul sister.

Thanks for your post. This concerns us a great deal as we hope to move to the Kootenay Rockies. One of the reasons we chose BC is because of the large regions of wilderness that have been respected and protected. My wish is that the right things are done for the right reasons. Thank you for your hard work.
Robin Easton Writes:
Oh wow! This is timely for you, huh? How blessed you are to move to Kootenay Rockies. And I can totally understand the need to live somewhere with vast areas of wilderness. I’ve lived many years of my life like that, but am currently in a small city in the southwest, USA. Even though the mountains are only 10 -15 mins away for hiking and all, I want it right out my back door. I want to be buried/hidden in it again. Hope to make this move over the next few years. My soul needs it. It’s like breath for me. I too pray the right things are done for the right reasons. —And Erick, thank you for encouraging me in this work. Some days I need that too. Bless you.

Done. Please advise of what else I can do to help you. So many battles for the Earth’s Wild Places. I am becoming a warrior, not something I ever really wanted to be, but these places all call so strongly to me and tears well up inside me for the Earth. Kia kaha!
Aroha,
Robb
Robin Easton Writes:
Hey my dear Robb, thank you for your support in doing this and for the love and emotional support you always bring with you….everywhere you go. I know, there are so many Wild Places crying out. I too feel and hear it. And yes, I also find myself becoming a voice for the Earth, for the trees, mountains and my wild brethren. I know what you mean by not really wanting it to be so, but I think the call finds US and some of us just can’t avoid hearing it. Like you, I know the tears and heartache; the Wild Voice goes deep and cuts to the quick. AS deep as her beauty goes (into us), so goes her cry. Thank you for “knowing”, listening and responding. I love for that my friend. Aroha always, Robin

Today I talked, and shared, your post with many. Believe it or not, with one man who is on the cusp of having dealings with our own Obama! I am so stoked to have spoken on behalf of Nature. I felt like John Muir sleeping beneath a huge Sequoia with Teddy Roosevelt. The creation of America’s National Park System is owed to that moment. It is now our turn, and Robin you are helping lead the way! You Rock!
Aroha,
Robb
Robin Easton Writes:
Kia ora my dear Earth-brother and friend, to see you here again and get this inspiring message made my whole day. It brought a big smile to my face and warmed my heart. You bring fresh air and the great outdoors with you. I needed that today. I’m very proud of you for being a voice for the wild. The wild has her own voice, but few are listening so we must help her. God knows Nature desperately needs voices like yours, and your’s is strong, true and powerful. It took guts to do what you did; know that. Many would not be so brave. It takes great energy and passion…and a LOT of work (which you know well). —Yes, you have the heart and soul of John Muir; it’s in all your writings…and even your dealings with others. You are kind of heart and soul. You know what matters, and more importantly you live it. YOU my friend are an inspiration for me. Aroha…always, Robin

Clicked and sent! It is so great that you bring these causes to our attention Robin!!! I believe and know that every little bit helps and lots of small bits, make a big difference!
Robin Easton Writes
Dear Beautiful Evita, thank you for helping me with this. I really liked what you said re: “…every little bit helps and lots of small bits, make a big difference!” Often many people feel that their one vote or one signature couldn’t possibly make a difference. And from that place of giving up they can spiral downward into hopelessness. When in fact, as you say, “every little bit” is a LOT because it is joined with many other little bits. AND when we “take action” and add our signature or place our vote (and we do it as often as we can with the causes we believe in) it can be a very uplifting experience because we then feel connected to the greater good. Thank you for sharing you wisdom. Hugs, Robin

Hi Robin. I had a startling event take place today that I wanted to tell you about. It speaks to the power of intent of course, but I love the synchronicity too.
I have been opening to this poetry thing that lurks in the recesses of my mind, and today I added a step to my post preparation; I closed my eyes for about a minute to get a feel. When I do this, I just write whatever comes and then sort it out after. The result is that I wrote my very first post about ecological issues, specifically the rainforest. I had no idea where it came from, and I was already writing before even I realized my topic
I know where it came from now. God bless you for your strong connectedness, and for the beneficial impact on protecting our sacred earth that you are. I did not really know why I suddenly clicked your name on my blogcatalog until it resulted in another “coincidence” that encourages me. I hope you are encouraged as well. Namaste’ — jb
Robin Easton Writes:
What a wonderful comment and more importantly experience on your part. Just amazing what can happen when we have an open mind and spirit. Your tree poem is fantastic. I read it 3 times. The last two lines are a really punchy wrap up, which catches the read totally off guard and makes them “fee”. I was very impressed. And yes, I believe we are all connected in ways we often grossly underestimate, connected to each other and the planet….the universe. Also know that I am GREATLY encouraged! Your site is a real gem, a powerful reflection of your spirit!

Robin,
Who could not heed your eloquent plea? I will do as you ask, and Stumble your page, as well.
Without wilderness to explore, we lose much of the mystery and richness of Creation, not to mention all that habitat and so many species, and the diminishing of the food chain we rely on for our existence…
Robin Easton Writes:
Dear Lynda, thank you for this beautiful comment on WHY we NEED wilderness. It is a wonderful quote. One you ought to save. It sums it all up in one sentence and is a reflection of your own heart!
