Bears need your voice! Use these questions to talk to our potential leaders and ask about bear conservation. Together, we can protect these iconic creatures— show these questions to your candidates and spark the change we need!
Bears face increasing threats from habitat destruction, human conflict, and mismanagement. Engage your local MLA candidate and ask where they stand on protecting bears and preserving the ecosystems they call home.
The choices we make today will shape the future for bears—and our communities. Let’s hold our leaders accountable and ensure policies that safeguard our wildlife. Every voice matters—speak up for a sustainable future and let’s #PutNatureOnTheBallot this election.

🌲 Protecting Canada`s Old-Growth Forests 🌲
At Pacific Wild, we`re fighting to save Canada’s ancient old-growth forests and protect the biodiversity they sustain along the West Coast. These irreplaceable ecosystems are home to iconic wildlife like wolves, bears, and countless other species.
Pacific Wild co-founders, Karen and Ian McAllister have been on the frontlines of forest defense for decades: from protesting in the war of the woods in the 1990’s, to advocating for the protection of the Great Bear Rainforest which announced their historic collaborative agreement in 2016, to reporting on ongoing old growth logging, like the cutblocks made on the fringes of Cape Scott Provincial Park just this spring. Pacific Wild continues to be the eyes and ears on the ground sharing stories about these beautiful places we call home with the world, and we hope you will join us to fight for their protection. Let us end ancient forest logging.
Watch the video, share it, and join the movement to save these ancient forests. Together, we can protect wildlife and promote sustainable solutions for our planet! 🌎💚

As British Columbia (B.C.) faces mounting threats to its wildlife, the Species at Risk Act (SARA) is intended to play a vital role in protecting vulnerable species like killer whales.
There are three distinct ecotypes of killer whales inhabiting B.C. waters – Bigg’s (Transient), Resident and Offshore – all of which are listed as threatened or endangered. This legislation helps to identify critical habitat and chart a course to protect species at risk, but it’s clear more action is needed. With the upcoming election, now is the time to ask candidates how they plan to strengthen protections for species and their habitats, including the iconic killer whale.
Our future leaders must prioritize conservation strategies that preserve ecosystems, enforce stronger habitat protection measures, and ensure that B.C.’s unique biodiversity thrives for generations to come.

It`s crucial to bring old-growth forest conservation and biodiversity to the forefront of political discussions.
These ancient ecosystems not only provide irreplaceable habitats for countless species but also act as vital carbon sinks, helping combat climate change. Decisions made by our elected officials today will determine the future of these irreplaceable forests, impacting biodiversity, climate resilience, and local communities. You can use these questions to engage with your candidates on important issues of conservation.
Ask your candidates where they stand on old-growth forest protection, and make your voice heard— because preserving these ancient forests is essential for a healthy, thriving future for all.

Yesterday evening British Columbia’s provincial party leaders battled it out in a televised debate for an hour and a half, but environmental issues were hardly mentioned.
Our economy and well-being depends on a healthy environment. Increasing wildfires, floods, landslides, deforestation and biodiversity loss are critical issues affecting British Columbia which need to be addressed now.
Whether it is grizzly bears, wolves, old growth or climate change, ask your local candidate where they stand on conservation issues close to your heart and let them know that for you and many other British Columbians, nature is on the ballot.
