🐟 Sockeye salmon are returning home.

After navigating the open ocean, sockeye are making their incredible journey back to the rivers where they were born to spawn and begin the next generation. But today, wild salmon face countless challenges at every stage of their lifecycle: from habitat loss and warming waters to disease, parasites, and industrial pressures.
One threat we have the power to address is open net-pen salmon farming. Removing open net-pen salmon farms from B.C. waters can help create safer migration routes for wild salmon as they travel to and from their natal rivers. That`s why it`s critical that the federal government follows through on its commitment to ban open net-pen salmon farms by 2029.

Wild salmon need action, not delays. Speak up and let the government know you support the 2029 ban on open net-pen salmon farms and a safer future for wild salmon.

🌈 This Pride Month, we celebrate the incredible diversity that exists not only within our communities, but throughout the natural world. Scientists continue to discover that diversity is not an exception in nature, it is a fundamental part of life on Earth. Across ecosystems, species have evolved an extraordinary range of ways to live, reproduce, and interact with one another.

From same-sex pairings in birds and mammals, to single-celled organisms with seven different sexes, plants that don`t fit neatly into male or female categories, and everything in between, the natural world reminds us that there is no single way to be. Diversity has always existed, and it enriches ecosystems, species, and communities alike.

❤️🧡💛 Happy Pride! 💚🩵💜

🐺When the pack reunites, everyone shares in their recent hunting and foraging successes through their spectacularly heightened sense of smell. There are no secrets among wolves.

❤️ As highly social animals, wolves live in close-knit family groups, caring for one another, cooperating to raise pups, and strengthening bonds through affection, play, and communication. Their family connections are at the heart of everything they do.

🛑 The B.C. government is proposing another 5 years of killing wolves through its caribou recovery program, which spends over a million taxpayer dollars to shoot hundreds of wolves from helicopters with semi-automatic rifles each year.

In an email to Pacific Wild, the government stated: “Because both habitat recovery and predator–prey rebalancing are inherently gradual processes, prematurely discontinuing predator reduction would result in rapid predator recolonization and immediate declines in caribou populations.”

❓But are there non-lethal actions the government can take which would have an immediate impact? Research conducted by biologist and data scientist, Jonah Keim, suggests YES there are.

🚧 His research showed that by placing obstacles (like downed trees or soil mounds)in areas disturbed by human impact — particularly linear features like logging roads and seismic lines — wildlife managers could reduce the ability of wolves to move quickly through the landscape. Even blocking just 40% of these linear features in an area reduced wolf-caribou encounters by 85% and black bear-caribou encounters by 60%.

🔍This research demonstrates that managing animal movements can effectively reduce predator-prey encounters, reducing pressure on endangered species without needing to kill keystone species like wolves. This non-lethal alternative avoids the disruptive ecological impacts that removing carnivores might cause, and provides a cost-effective, ethical alternative to predator removals in the shorter-term even while long-term habitat restoration is underway.

🐺 Wolves have been made a convenient scapegoat while industry is allowed to continue damaging critical caribou habitat year after year.

🖐️Tell the government to STOP the wolf cull. Pacific Wild has been given until June 15th at 10a to submit feedback on extending the wolf cull for another 5 years. We want to include YOUR voice. Visit our website to submit your comment today. ✍️

📣 If you’ve already submitted a comment, be sure to share the link with your pack to amplify your impact!🐾

🐋 Who the Southern Resident killer whales are and why they`re endangered
🔬 How cutting-edge research is informing conservation efforts
🐕 How rescue dogs become highly skilled conservation partners
🌊 What it will take to support the recovery of these iconic whales

The presentation will be followed by a live Q&A with the speakers.

📅 Thursday, June 25, 2026
⏰ 7 - 8:30 PM PST
💻 Online via Zoom
🎟️ Free registration — link in bio

Can`t make it live? Register anyway and we`ll send you the recording.

Whether you`re passionate about whales, dogs, marine conservation, or science, this is a unique opportunity to hear how an unlikely partnership is helping protect one of the Pacific Northwest`s most endangered species.
