MyVision
by
Judi
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
