🐺 We hear you. As B.C.’s wolf cull enters its 10th year, it can feel like our voices are being ignored. But together, we can create a chorus the government can`t dismiss.
Pacific Wild has been fighting to end the wolf cull since day one, but we need YOUR help. Here’s how you can take action:
📩 Send a pre-written or personalized letter to the government (follow the link in our bio)
📱 Call your MLA and demand transparency & accountability from the B.C. government
📝Write a letter to the editor in your local newspaper.
📣 Engage in public consultations (follow us for updates!)
🔎Go local: dive into the data of what is happening to wolves in your region and engage with friends and neighbours to raise awareness.
📚 Support independent science on wolves and non-lethal solutions to wildlife management (👀 Kiem et al., 2021 as an example and keep an eye on our announcements this year!)
🔥 Stand with Indigenous-led and co-managed conservation efforts (like the expansion of the Klinse-za/Twin Sisters Park protecting caribou habitat)
🐺 Raise awareness about the vital role wolves play in B.C.’s ecosystems (educate your peers!)
🤝 Meet with your MLA & MP, gather a group and schedule a meeting-let them know that you and other constituents want protections for wolves.
🎨 Get creative! Organize an art show about the wolf cull—paint, sculpt, create soundscapes, or visualize data. Apply for grants to take it on the road & include the truth about caribou conservation.
💚 Donate to support our work (we have some big projects in the works).
Together, we can protect B.C.’s wolves. Join the fight.

A Healthy Economy Needs A Healthy Environment!
With Donald Trump threatening 25% tariffs—and even annexation—Canada’s economy faces serious risks. In yesterday’s Throne Speech, the B.C. government called this the “most consequential time for our province since the Second World War” and laid out a plan to strengthen the economy, diversify trade, and respond to U.S. threats.
But instead of prioritizing long-term resilience, B.C. is fast-tracking 18 major projects, including LNG, mining, and critical minerals—funnelling billions of dollars into industries that harm biodiversity, Indigenous lands, and the climate.
Who benefits from this plan?
The oil and gas industry, for one. Deeply embedded in the White House, LNG and pipeline expansion is being driven by investors who are close allies and major donors of Trump. Our fear is that prioritizing resource extraction and large-scale industrial developments reinforces our reliance on industries that put profit over people and ecosystems.
It’s true—we are at a critical point in history. But real resilience means protecting what sustains us, not doubling down on industries that drive the climate crisis. B.C. cannot afford to go backward.

🌎✨ Kicking off the week with some positive environmental news!
🐟 Kwiakah First Nation is transforming a former salmon farm into a floating, solar-powered research hub, blending traditional knowledge with modern science to protect forests, waters, and marine life.
🍎 More Canadians are choosing local produce, giving farms like Agricola Cooperative in Québec a 20% boost in CSA sales—a win for food security and sustainability!
🐺 Rare black wolves were caught on camera in Poland, sparking new conservation efforts to study their unique genetics.
🦫 Beavers in the Czech Republic built a wetland that exceeds conservationists’ expectations—saving an estimated £1.2 million in costs!
🌳 In Guatemala’s Maya Biosphere Reserve, local communities are proving that sustainable forestry can protect rainforests better than national parks.
💚 While there is still much more work to be done, there are more people than ever before dedicated to protecting wildlife and ecosystems, driving real change for a healthier planet.

💔👨🍼This Family Day, as families across B.C. come together to celebrate, 34 wolf families won’t be joining them. Between January and March of 2024, these families were eradicated from the landscape as part of the province’s ongoing wolf cull—a program that’s already cost taxpayers over $11 million to kill 2,192 wolves.
🐺 Even more disturbing, the "Judas Wolf" program that involves fitting wolves with collars lead marksmen to their families, marking them for death. This isn’t conservation—it’s extermination.
🌲Killing wolves won’t save caribou when their habitat is being destroyed by industry.
As you hold your loved ones close today, take a moment to remember the wolf families who are no longer able to do the same - and the ones currently being chased by helicopters about to meet the same fate. 💚 Let’s honour them by fighting for a future where all families—human and wild—can thrive together.
End the wolf cull! 🛑

❗️In a move that echoes the controversial and inhumane wolf cull in British Columbia, Alaska has launched a program to drastically reduce wolf and bear populations under the guise of protecting moose and caribou. But this deeply flawed strategy comes at a devastating cost to the natural ecosystem.
🐺🐻 Wolves, as a keystone species, play a vital role in maintaining balance within their environment. Removing them disrupts this delicate equilibrium, harming not only wolves but the entire ecosystem. Grizzly bears, also targeted in this cull, are among the slowest-reproducing land mammals. With reports confirming that the state has been killing reproductive females and young cubs, the long-term survival of their population is now in serious jeopardy.
🌲This mass killing is based on the misguided belief that predators are the main cause of declining moose and caribou populations. However, a 2024 state report acknowledged that factors like disease, poor nutrition, and harsh winters—not predation—are the true drivers of these population declines.
Despite overwhelming scientific evidence contradicting this approach, the program aims to eliminate up to 80% of these animals through aerial gunning. To make matters worse, independent observers and photographers are being barred from witnessing the cull, shutting out public oversight and transparency.
✍🏼 We cannot allow this to continue. It’s time for science-backed, non-lethal conservation solutions—not senseless slaughter.
Join us in taking a stand for our wildlife neighbors to the North. Sign the petition in our bio to help end this cull!
