Unhappy birthday

Mar 18, 2009

CPAWS threw me a party, but it's not a happy birthday.  CPAWS (SNAP) Quebec, as the voice of the new initiative Citoyens pour la nature (Citizens for nature), marked the fourth anniversary of the Woodland caribou's designation as a species at risk in the province with the kickoff of a new campaign: Le caribou est à bout !.  It means something like "The caribou is fed up!"  It's true, I am!

The event, held at my favourite cafe (le Café des bois), attracted lots of Montreal media.  We beseeched the Quebec government to immediately publish its caribou recovery strategy for 2005-2012.  It's getting late, and the report was due in 2006.

With this campaign, Quebeckers can take action to demand that the goverment take real steps to publish their plan and protect caribou habitat.  Now that's a great birthday gift.

Take action at lecaribouetvous.ca.  (French only)
