Great Bear Rainforest Conservation
The Great Bear Rainforest is one of the largest temperate rainforests in the world, located on the central coast of British Columbia, Canada. It is home to diverse wildlife, including the rare Kermode bear, also known as the "spirit bear." Conservation efforts aim to protect this unique ecosystem from logging and industrial development, ensuring the survival of its flora and fauna.
In 2016, a landmark agreement was reached to conserve over 85% of the rainforest, balancing ecological preservation with the rights of local Indigenous communities. Ongoing initiatives focus on sustainable practices and habitat restoration, promoting biodiversity and protecting the region's natural heritage for future generations.
