Conservation

Kitasoo/Xai’xais people have always been stewards of this land we now call The Great Bear Rainforest, they learned long ago that if you take care of the biosphere it will take care of you.

The herring and their eggs are so important to the Great Bear Rainforest ecosystem, feeding not only the giants of the sea, but also the small animals and birds along the shore.

Humpbacks in this area were whaled intensely until the 1960’s. Over 40 harvested in 1965 alone. Hunted to near extinction.

The Great Bear Rainforest is the largest intact temperate rainforest on the planet. But what does that mean? Or look like?
