ACTIVISM

HUGGING TREES or saving species has never been easier, thanks to Alberta naturalist Stephen Legault. For the past year. Legault and his Internet-based green coalition at wildcanada.net have been on a mission to deliver up-to-the-minute conservation information to Canadians. He aims to make it easy for even the busiest people to find time to voice their concerns.

The website's Action Centres allow concerned nature lovers to sign up for free and, with a click of the mouse, fax pre-written letters to their MP or MLA. "There's no question were playing this game in a way that it's never been played before in Canada," says Legault.

Full Size PictureWildcanada.net focuses on issues related to wildlife and wildlands, such as current lobbying for endangered-species protection and conservation of wildlife habitat in mountain foothills.

"Raising awareness about these issues is part of the democratic process," says Legault, who expects his e-activist network to grow from 3,000 to 30,000 by the end of 2004. "We want to make it easy for Canadians to tell their elected leaders what they think of their performance."
