Join Raincoast in Victoria to view this unique exhibit and help us stop commercial trophy hunting
This November the Bateman Centre will host three events and the One Shot for Coastal Carnivores exhibit to help secure the Nadeea tenure - the next step in permanently ending the commercial trophy hunt in the Great Bear Rainforest.
After a fantastic launch in Vancouver we are looking forward to sharing our One Shot for Coastal Carnivores show with our home crowd in Victoria. We hope to see you at one of the nights at the Bateman Centre; there are three great opportunities to join us.
With less than two months to raise the final $190,000, you can contribute by bidding on the photography, donating or attending one of the events. Whether your contribution is the ticket price, $140 for a limited edition print, or a larger amount as a gift, each donation will get us closer.
The exhibit runs from the 14th to the 21st and there are three evening events we want you to know about.
Opening night – November 14th
On November 14th we open the first showing of the One Shot for Coastal Carnivores exhibit at the Robert Bateman Centre in Victoria.
The Bateman Centre will serve as a backdrop for this unique photography collection with contributions from April Bencze, Tavish Campbell, Karen Cooper, Colleen Gara, Bertie Gregory, Melissa Groo, Brad Hill, John Marriott, Cristina Mittermeier, Neil Ever Osborne, Eric Sambol and Andrew Wright.
Raincoast’s Brian Falconer will share the story of how we started our innovative approach of buying commercial hunting tenures. He will also have some exciting news on our progress with Coastal First Nations to permanently end commercial trophy hunting in the Great Bear Rainforest.

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.
