Our vision for coastal British Columbia is to protect the habitats and resources of umbrella species
We believe this approach will help safeguard all species, including people, and ecological processes that exist at different scales. Central to our efforts are long-standing relationships with Indigenous communities.
We’re scientists, researchers, and conservationists
Our experienced scientists and conservationists work closely with each other and our partners to ensure that all our work is expertly positioned to make the greatest change.
We have a broad range of expertise on cetaceans, wolves, water, bears, forests, salmon, marine and terrestrial ecosystems, and more. Together, members of the Raincoast team have been authors on over 600 peer reviewed papers.
