MyVision
by

Wild
" I have a vision, which is
becoming increasingly clearer to me as time goes by.
I feel that there is no better
time than now to seek the
help & guidance from others
who may share the same vision." 1/1/2007
I envision:
an International Wildlife
Sanctuary which will encompass the entire land mass of
Princess
Royal Island plus
surrounding waters and air-space. The legendary "Spirit
Bear" together with the "Ravens
Decree" would become the
main "theme" of the Sanctuary, but would include all
the wildlife
species indigenous to the Island
& surrounding waters.
this Sanctuary would
be totally & completely off-limits to all mankind - except
for a bi-annual
monitoring excursion
comprised of a carefully chosen small group of scientists &
photographers.
totally encased viewing
platforms & walkways - carefully placed so as not to disturb
the natural
environment. This would
ensure that the animals would continue to roam freely for another
10,000 years, or more, without any intervention or harassment
from Mankind
the Sanctuary
would be protected by one or more caretakers who are based on
location at all times. A float
plane can schedule a daily trip
around the entire Island scouting for intruders & poachers.
I envision:
one of many on-going fundraisers
and many more major international
sponsors will be recruited.
Recognition will be given where deserved - including all
the levels of
Government, our First Nations,
the environmentalists and the Logging Companies. A volunteer
elected
committee will oversee all
the business matters & the smooth running of the Sanctuary.
"I do hope you share my vision & enthusiasm.
This is a very unique situation -
we have an uninhabited Island
in the temperate rainforest
(almost untouched by mankind)
with wild animals, including a
very rare totally Canadian Kermode bear,
roaming about freely, as they
have done for thousands of years.
A LIVING MUSEUM
What a priceless international
treasure well worth
protecting for future generations
to come
Consider becoming a
GUARDIAN OF THE SPIRIT BEAR .
You will ensure, in
accordance with the "Ravens Decree"
that the Kermode bear will roam throughout this special
Island, in peace ,forever ,just as it has for the last
10.000yrs.
