🌿 Step into an ancient world…right here in B.C.
Join us for a screening of Safe Haven: The Rainbow-Jordan Wilderness—an award-winning film by Damien Gillis and Valhalla Wilderness Society that captures the magic of one of Earth’s rarest ecosystems: the inland temperate rainforest near Revelstoke, B.C.
Home to 2,000-year-old trees and remarkable biodiversity, this is one of the last truly intact wilderness areas in the region. The film is a call to protect it—forever.
Thursday, April 17 | Vic Theatre, Victoria
7:00 PM (Doors at 6:30)

🐟 Wild salmon desperately need our help, and with a Canadian federal election just around the corner it’s time we speak up loudly for salmon.
Don’t let the government backtrack on their commitments! It’s been almost 1 year since the Canadian Federal government promised they would phase out open-net pen salmon farming by 2029, and since then there have been multiple incidences at fish farms in British Columbia.
Each delay means more disasters.
You can keep the conversation going by voting for our very loud campaign from last year.

Colossal Biosciences is working to "de-extinct" the dire wolf—an Ice Age predator that vanished over 10,000 years ago. But let’s be clear: these animals are not true dire wolves. They are genetically modified grey wolves, engineered to express dire wolf genes and traits. It’s not resurrection—it’s rebranding.
The idea may sound like sci-fi made real, but it raises urgent, real-world questions.
🐺 Today, wolves occupy just 67% of their historic range worldwide. In North America, grey wolves continue to be vilified, hunted, trapped, and poisoned under the guise of “wildlife management” or “pest control.” And in British Columbia, hunting forums are already buzzing with speculative talk about one day hunting these so-called “dire wolves.”
❓So we have to ask:
Before we "resurrect" apex predators for curiosity, legacy, or spectacle, shouldn`t we first prove we can coexist with the ones we have now?
Relying on the idea that we can bring species back through technology risks undermining the critical and urgent drive to protect them in the first place—an attitude that could drive extinction rather than prevent it. Conservation isn`t just about saving species. It’s about changing the systems—and mindsets—that led to their decline in the first place. Until we do that, we risk repeating history... only this time, with bigger teeth.

🐟 Facts Matter!
Why does Pacific herring matter—and what does ‘the science’ really say?
These #BIGlittlefish are the cornerstone of B.C.’s marine ecosystems, but industrial fishing, climate change, and poor policy are pushing herring to further decline.
Our newly updated Pacific herring resource list lays out the facts—clear, concise, and backed by research.

For weeks, our crew was out on the Pacific Rim, documenting the awe-inspiring spring herring spawn—capturing the magic of whales, sea lions, and the elusive coastal wolves—all sustained by the abundance of this #BIGlittlefish.
Battling storms, technical challenges, and even seasickness, the team pushed through in pursuit of powerful imagery to help us tell critical stories that drive protection and activism.
This behind-the-scenes video offers a rare glimpse into the reality of fieldwork on the wild coast—and the dedication it takes to capture nature’s story.
