Where coastlines meet ancient forests

No matter the season, the wilderness in B.C. will take your breath away. Summer hiking trails wind through vast wildflower meadows and dense, ancient old-growth forests, while killer whales breach the gentle waves of the Puget sound. Grizzly bears wander through valleys and rivers in search of resilient salmon, journeying upstream to spawn. Millions of shorebirds sweep along the coastline every autumn and spring. And year-round, old-growth forests shelter at-risk species like southern mountain caribou and spotted owls.

Almost all of B.C. is unceded First Nations territory. Right now, only 15 per cent of land in B.C. is protected, with more than 1,900 wildlife species on the brink of extinction. That’s why we work alongside grassroots activists and First Nations communities to protect the future of these iconic wonders. In B.C., volunteers help restore trails, allies join us on the streets opposing fossil fuel expansion, and our team pushes for tougher laws that shield nature from harmful industry and protect it for good.

Take Action

Here’s where your voice can matter most in B.C. Uncover the pressing issues for nature and climate that we’re speaking up for today.

Saving Argenta Face

Argenta Face is a critical wildlife corridor that allows wide-ranging species like grizzly bears to freely move between Goat Range Provincial Park and Purcell Wilderness Conservancy Park. It enables species movement between low and high-elevation habitat. The last known deep-snow caribou here were found to be living on Argenta Face in 2019, and the hope is one day they will return

Read on to learn what you can do to get the amazing Argenta Face added to the Purcell Wilderness Conservancy Provincial Park and make that 1974 wild dream a reality.
