Killer whale emergency.

The Southern Resident killer whales are critically endangered. They need our help. Raincoast and partners are petitioning the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Dominic LeBlanc and Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna to request that Cabinet issue an emergency order under the Species at Risk Act (SARA) to protect this endangered population of whales.

Take action today and compel the Canadian government to act.

Wolf tracks! Saw these on our way up to #Koeye Camp. There are a few ways these coastal wolves are different those on the mainland — do you know how? They fish and swim between islands! Their diet is upto 90% seafood and they are genetically different from the mainland wolves.
