Iona Island Waste Water Treatment Plant – Metro Vancouver’s largest wastewater plant – currently operates at a primary level, filtering out only large debris and dissolving some organic matter before entering the Salish Sea, therefore contaminating the environment and allowing for the introduction of microplastics to the environment. Discussions are underway regarding an upgrade to a tertiary level, the appropriate treatment level for the 207 billion litres of wastewater that enters the Salish Sea.

“Current conservation policies are driven by irrational fears, reluctance to inconvenience ourselves in co-existence with nature, and resistance to learning and challenging the status quo. They are rooted in antiquated myths. Bears are managed as “species” or, as government bureaucrats phrase it, “life game”, and not as living creatures with complex inner lives.”

“Ever since Jayda G’s euphoric, sweaty set at Dekmantel 2017 proved her to be the most exhilarating new disco DJ on the planet, her tour schedule has been packed with international festival and club dates. She’s also boosted her profile as a producer, releasing her debut LP Significant Changes via Ninja Tune in 2019. The album sampled the biologist Misty MacDuffee, a biologist with the Raincoast Conservation Foundation, who won a court case against the Canadian government for its policies against killer whales.”

Wildlife management and conservation measures in New Zealand are not always with the intention of compassion towards the species under discussion. The choice of conservation methods used would achieve more support from the overall public by recognizing that “the intrinsic value of both human and animal nature “and the need for the entwining of eco-justice and social justice” offers a path to a just world.”.
