On December 18th, 2017 the Government of British Columbia announced a full and total ban on the grizzly bear trophy hunt. The hunting for meat loophole is finally closed. Because you took the time to voice your support for a total and complete ban on the grizzly bear trophy hunt, the B.C. government listened. For over two decades, Pacific Wild and countless others have worked to stop the grizzly bear trophy hunt in B.C. In the provincial election of 2017 we helped make the trophy hunt an issue that all three political parties had to address culminating in the recent provincial government’s announcement that grizzly bears in the Great Bear Rainforest will no longer be killed for sport or trophy. The end of the grizzly bear trophy hunt in the Great Bear Rainforest is a milestone over twenty years in the making. You were a part of it. Your contribution to Pacific Wild has been appreciated and continues to be vital in the battle to protect Canadian wilderness and the future of grizzly bears in British Columbia. With the hunt close, we now need your help to protect the long-term survival of grizzly bears and their remaining habitat. At current rates of habitat loss and fragmentation, half of B.C. stands to lose most of their grizzlies over the next 40 years. Nine of the province’s grizzly bear sub-populations are in trouble, and three in southwest B.C. have been assessed as critically endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. We need your help to have these grizzly bear populations listed as a species of Special Concern under the federal Species at Risk Act (SARA). Less than 2️⃣days remain in the public comment period.
