The money hungry David Suzuki Foundation publishes a newsletter.  
Occasionally it sends this out to people who have donated to other 
charities, and made it onto the global rent-a-cause mailing list.

One such newsletter (March 2000) states:

* BC's west coast rainforests are "an area of little scientific study"
		This is an outrageous lie.

* it states that clearcut logging "destroy[s] BC's forests and 
biodiversity.  Another complete lie.

* "Today more than half of BC's coastal rainforest has been lost, and 
what remains is immediately threatened."  Two utter lies in one sentence.

* And in an article entitled "Climate change causes ecosystem stress" 
(any ecologist knows that all ecosystems are always under stress)
we see: "'Scientists are alarmed because living systems are responding to 
climate change with unexpected rapidity' says Dr. David Suzuki."  

But the article didn't expand on that quotation.  Organisms respond to 
ecological stress by adapting or dying.  This has always been the case.  
Any references or data would get in the way of the fundraising.

If the Suzuki Foundation were really interested in protecting endangered 
species and ecosystems, and shielding the earth from global warming, they 
would be sending you and me pamphlets urging us not to have children, and 
to end government programs like 'free' education, which simply make it 
easier for people to procreate.

The Suzuki Foundation is about using bogus scare tactics to raise money.  
They have never saved anything.  They are an embarassment to legitimate 
outfits (like CPAWS, DU, SLDF etc) that actually do useful work.
