Our government is going to let<b> a mining company destroy part of Temagami's magical old growth forest</b>, but we've already made them act to protect it once and targeting a key minister now could save this forest for good.

Our government is going to let <b>a mining exploration company destroy part of Temagami's magical old growth forest</b> and I need your help to stop them.<br><br>
Ontario's Premier reversed plans to remove forest reserve status from Wolf Lake in Temagami after thousands of Canadians wrote him letters. But now, <b>Minister Bartolucci signed a 21 year lease with an Alberta mining company</b>, right in the middle of the forest preserve. <b>Exploration and mining could devastate the area</b>. The move is crazy, but technically legal. Our only hope is to come together and pressure Bartolucci to buy out the lease and end the mining threat.<br><br>
I want my two daughters and their kids to know the joy and wonder of canoeing through Wolf Lake, witness its old growth and drink its crystal clear blue water. Hundreds of others like me would like to do the same. <b>Let's pressure pressure Bartolucci, and win</b>, just like we won against Premier McGuinty. Join me in this call. When 20,000 of us join together, Avaaz will take out ads in Bartolucci's election riding and call him out for this forest destruction. <b>Sign by clicking below</b> and then pass this along to your friends and family:<br><br>

In 1999, <b>the government of Ontario promised to protect the 300 year old Wolf Lake ancient pines</b> located in the famous greater Temagami canoeing area northeast of Sudbury. But they have failed to act on that promise. <b>Instead they signed a new 21 year lease with a mining company</b>, opening this area up to potential total destruction. Experts say it's not even that great a mining resource but that hasn't held back the company. <br><br>
Mining exploration at Wolf Lake has already destroyed popular campsites, carved heavy machinery tracks through the old growth, knocked down ancient pines, and run oily drill rigs through pristine creeks. But <b>we have a chance to stop this new attack on our wilderness</b> before it is too late. <br><br>
