Great Bear
The Gitga'at people of The Great Bear Rain Forest in British Columbia Canada have an age old myth of a raven deity that swooped down on the land and bleached a few black-bears snow-white. These "spirit bears" were to be a reminder to future generations that the world must be kept pristine. In honor of that mission government agencies, coastal Native Canadian nations, logging companies and environmental groups have successfully designated 5 million acres of the spirit bear's home as preserve, while implementing sustainable forestry practices on the remaining 10 million acres of the world's largest temperate rain forest.
