In 2005 the Raincoast Conservation Foundation made astounding headway to protect the unique diversity of animals often hunted for "trophies" along the northwest coast of British Columbia.   By creating the Great Bear Rainforest, an area three times the size of Yellowstone National Park,  marine-based wolves are safe at home in the largest expanse of temperate rainforest left on the planet.   Land and sea intermingle here and often UNITE in amazing predator-prey relationships where commercial trophy hunting is not allowed.  

Now the Raincoast Conservation Foundation wants to protect MORE, but they can't do it without your help.  The new land is adjacent to the already protected area, but here wolves and other animals still fall victim to needless killing through guided trophy hunting tours. 

Help extend the PROTECTION to include more wolf families through your financial contribution to purchase the land and maintain it for wild coastal wolves to run free along the shorelines with pups as they fish.  These wolves are different from their land-based grey wolf cousins, genetically and behaviourally.  Learn more about them at http://www.raincoast.org/ and how you can help ensure their wild future today!

These wolves are irreplaceable. 

Another major threat to coastal wolves and the vast array of wildlife home in the area (salmon, sea lions, orcas, black-tailed deer, grizzly and black bears, to name a few…) is a destructive proposal called the Enbridge Pipeline and the ocean tankers that would accompany it.  The question is not if there would be a catastrophic oil spill in this pristine coastal setting, but when it would be!  This unnecessary risk is not worth taking.  Don't let BC be the link to set Alberta's Tar Sands Oil far and wide via the sea.  Learn more through Pacific Wild's Video Documentary http://vimeo.com/15295815 . 

This group (http://www.pacificwild.org/) has also been working hard to document and protect the distinctive characteristics of coastal wolves, and create awareness about the need to preserve wolves along the Pacific Coast.  Speak to your MLA to oppose the Enbridge Pipeline. 

Reach out further to other contacts through the Pacific Wild action page: http://www.pacificwild.org/site/take_action.html

Thank you for staying informed about conservation needs, goals and efforts!  WE can't do it without YOU.
