To truly safeguard biodiversity, BC needs “Ecosystem-Based Protection Targets” for every ecosystem type—rainforests, grasslands, dry forests, wetlands, etc.—on a scale large enough to ensure their long-term health and stability.
Witness the majestic bald eagle in the temperate rainforests of BC, where they nest in ancient trees and hunt for wild salmon. Learn about their impressive vision, enormous nests, and how the Chehalis and Harrison Rivers host one of the world's largest eagle concentrations.
In his presentation, One Last Shot to Protect Old-Growth Forests In British Columbia, TJ takes us on a visual journey of his work as a conservation photographer, big tree hunter, and National Geographic Explorer.
This bizarrely fascinating gnome plant is a rare pink myco-heterotroph found in coastal rainforests. Lacking leaves and stems, it relies on fungi for nutrients rather than photosynthesis. Explore its mysterious relationships with insects and fungi, and learn why this beautiful organism is such a curious critter in forest ecosystems.
