In case you missed it, our friend @vancityreynolds In case you missed it, our friend @vancityreynolds has generously pledged to match all donations up to $50,000 this month! Ryan is deeply passionate about the BC coast and all the species found here. @iantmcallister and the rest of the team here at Pacific Wild are extremely grateful for his generosity in supporting our work through the #MakeRyanPay matching challenge.⁣ ⁣ “This is my way to help ensure the rainforests I grew up with as a kid are still going to be there — wild and unique, and in the world for my kids, and hopefully their kids too.”⁣ ⁣ Click the link in our bio to learn more.

𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐢𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲! Thank you for choosing Pacific Wild and trusting us to make the best use of your gift at such an important time in our ecological history.⁣ ⁣ #PacificWild #BIGLittleFish #SaveBCWolves #SalmonCount #WildlifeConservation #RyanReynolds #Fundraising #Conservation #GiveBack #KeepItWild #BCNature

We’re just two days into our #MakeRyanPay donati We’re just two days into our #MakeRyanPay donation matching challenge! Thanks to @vancityreynolds' pledge to match all donations up to $50,000, gifts made to our organization this July will go twice as far. Already, we are at 66% of our goal with $33,287.12 raised.⁣ ⁣ Here’s what the actor had to say about supporting our work:⁣ ⁣ “As a Vancouver-born Canadian, I am passionate about the BC coast and all the species it supports. Providing this gift matching challenge to help raise money for the critical conservation work being done by my friends at Pacific Wild, is my way of helping ensure that the rainforest I grew up with as a kid, will still be there, wild and unique in the world, for my kids, and their kids, too. The challenge is on: I will personally match every dollar you give Pacific Wild between Canada Day (Jul 1) and British Columbia Day (Aug 3) up to $50,000. And hey, if you've ever panned one of my movies, this is your golden chance to get revenge--make me pay for it--by giving to one of the greatest environmental organizations protecting the lands and waters of the Great Bear Rainforest!"⁣ ⁣ 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐢𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞!⁣

Patrolling the water’s edge, these wolves have become expert fishers.

Photo by @iantmcallister // Here on Canada’s Pac Photo by @iantmcallister // Here on Canada’s Pacific coast, rain can be relentless. The #SeaWolves that live here tend to hunker down during strong rain events, sometimes refraining from hunting for days. Some believe rain dampens the scent of their prey. As soon as the weather breaks they are on the forest trails and tidal beaches back on the hunt.

Photo by @iantmcallister // Last week, the We Wai Photo by @iantmcallister // Last week, the We Wai Kai and We Wai Kum Nations announced a decision that they no longer approve the fish farm tenure in their territory — long-standing MOWI Atlantic salmon farms in Campbell River. The news came after more than 1000 farmed fish escaped from the company's Shaw Point facility in Johnstone Strait.⁣ ⁣ From the release:⁣ ⁣ "The escape of Atlantic salmon, the delay in notifying the Nations about the escape, and the ongoing concerns about the impacts of sea lice on juvenile migrating salmon has brought this issue to a head. 'The system is broken', said Chief Assu. 'We cannot stand by and wait for BC to implement the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, or for DFO to protect our vital resource. Our Nations have a right to wild salmon and the right to make decisions about how our territory is used. We will exercise that right, starting with the site at Shaw Point."⁣ ⁣ It's time for @fisheriesoceanscan to #getfishfarms out of the ocean.⁣ ⁣ Read the full story at the link in our bio.⁣ ⁣ #SalmonCount #SalmonNation #bcpoli #cdnpoli #aquaculture #salmon #wildfirst #wildsalmon #fisheries #fisheriesmanagement #conservation #wildlifeconservation #marineconservation #fish #fishing
