🐻🍂 Fat Bear Week may be over, but B.C.’s bears are still taking bulking season very seriously.
Meet Big Momma, a female grizzly making the most of one of the most important meals of the year: the fall salmon run.
Right now, bears across B.C. are in hyperphagia, a period of intense eating as they prepare for the winter months ahead. Along the coast, that means taking full advantage of spawning salmon returning to rivers and streams.
But all that feasting does more than build up a bear’s fat reserves. When bears carry salmon away from streams and into the forest, they move marine-derived nutrients from ocean to land. Leftover carcasses, scraps, and waste provide nutrients to plants, soils, insects, scavengers, and countless other species.
🌊🐟🌲Bears are an important connection between land and sea, helping bring the ocean into the forest, one salmon at a time. And judging by Big Momma, she’s been working very hard at it.

🐕 A few days ago we went to a nearby dog park and asked passersby about their priorities for the future of B.C.. This is what they had to say.

The upcoming election will likely feature heavily in discussions around Thanksgiving dinner tables this weekend, and we want to hear your take!

❓What do you think makes B.C. special?
❓What do you think the next Premier of B.C. should be protecting and prioritizing?

Hundreds of people gathered in Victoria and across the province this Sunday to demand an end to old-growth logging in B.C. and a shift to ecosystem-based forest management.

Pacific Wild was honoured to attend the Victoria ‘Hands Off Old Growth’ rally, organized by Elders for Ancient Trees and other conservation groups. Inspirational First Nations speakers and performers took to the stage, along with members of the healthcare sector, forestry labour unions, environmentalists, and a guest appearance by B.C. Green Party leader Emily Lowan.

Children, college students, adults, and elders sang and cheered together, and hundreds traced their hands on a giant banner to show their support for protecting B.C.’s last remaining ancient forests.

Rally participants made it clear that British Columbians will not tolerate the B.C. government’s unabashed logging of old-growth forests, which amount to less than 3% of all remaining forests in the province.

Instead, we demand the immediate protection of ancient and primary forests, and an overhaul of current forestry policy to a system that supports local economies and protects the ecological integrity of our irreplaceable ecosystems.

Swipe to watch clips of some of the fantastic speeches and see photos from the Victoria rally.

📣🐺 New webinar alert!

A wolf’s howl is hauntingly beautiful. But what does it mean? Husband and wife research duo John and Mary Theberge have studied wild wolves for six decades, and their bioacoustic work is revealing the complex communication patterns hidden in wolf howls, whines, and barks.

In this exciting webinar, the Theberges will take us on a journey into the world of wolf communication. With their intimate knowledge of wolf behaviour and ecology, combined with ever-improving tracking and acoustic technology, John and Mary have amazing insights about wolf intelligence and emotional complexity, and why many of our current approaches to wolf “management” — including the wolf cull in British Columbia — are ill-informed and outdated.

You don’t want to miss this conversation!

Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
💰 @onedayspay is a simple — yet powerful — way for Canadians to do something meaningful: Donate the equivalent of one day’s pay (or however much you can afford) to an Indigenous-led organization.
This year, we were excited to learn that One Day’s Pay has chosen Stqeeye’ Learning Society as one of the three organizations they are highlighting.

💚 Stqeeye’ Learning Society is an Indigenous-led non-profit organization based on Salt Spring Island, B.C., in the traditional territory of the Quw’utsun Peoples. They restore and protect the lands and waters of Xwaaqw’um ( @xwaaqwum ) while revitalizing Indigenous knowledge, culture, and stewardship. Guided by Quw’utsun descendants, Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and Youth, they foster self-determination and land-based learning.

🤝 Pacific Wild had the honour of travelling to Salt Spring Island earlier this month to see firsthand the incredible ecological and cultural restoration work Stqeeye’ Learning Society is implementing to bring the heartbeat back to the village of Xwaaqw’um. We left with so many new insights, and so inspired.

❤️‍🩹 We have one important update from Maiya that we’d like to add:
“In the time since we last met, I got to feed my 99 year old grandmother camas before she passed away. For the first time in over 100 years camas was harvested from Xwaaqw’um and fed to the oldest elder in Cowichan before she passed. My grandmother passed away two days after she got to taste it.”

Please consider supporting Stqeeye’ Learning Society’s important work.
