Help us to consign the trophy hunt to history

Is today the last day to win a trip with Raincoast?

Yes. Today is your last chance to win a unique ten day adventure with Raincoast. Aboard our research vessel, Achiever, you’ll visit the estuaries and watersheds where bears roam, guided by Raincoast experts. Your name needs to be in the hat today with around 300 others for a chance to win. So, before you pack the cooler, grab your Denman Island Chocolate Grizzly Bar and enter for your chance to win.

Is today the last day to Save the Great Bears?

No. While the competition to win the Great Bear Rainforest trip closes today, our efforts to end the trophy hunt continue. All proceeds from this campaign will directly support our acquisition of commercial hunting tenures in the territories of our Coastal First Nations partners who have called for an end to the trophy hunting of bears in their traditional territories under tribal law. As Canada celebrates 150 years of history we’re reminded that this coast has a much longer story, and that story includes co-existence with bears.

It’s the last day to enter to win a ten day trip.

However you celebrate this long weekend and Canada Day, please consider a donation that will directly help us to consign the trophy hunt to history in the grizzlies’ namesake Great Bear Rainforest. This will be a conservation success of international stature and one we can all celebrate for the next 150 years and beyond.

The natural history of BC’s coast includes bears. Let’s keep it that way.

I hope you will donate now and enter to win a once in a lifetime trip.

You can help

Raincoast’s in-house scientists, collaborating graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professors make us unique among conservation groups. We work with First Nations, academic institutions, government, and other NGOs to build support and inform decisions that protect aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and the wildlife that depend on them. We conduct ethically applied, process-oriented, and hypothesis-driven research that has immediate and relevant utility for conservation deliberations and the collective body of scientific knowledge.

We investigate to understand coastal species and processes. We inform by bringing science to decision-makers and communities. We inspire action to protect wildlife and wildlife habitats.
