We are off to a great start to stopping commercial trophy hunting in the Southern Great Bear Rainforest Tenure
We have already reached 7% of our goal!
Last week we launched our campaign to stop commercial trophy hunting in the Southern Great Bear Rainforest Tenure and we were met with so much support that we’ve already raised $145,110 of our total goal of $1.92 million – that’s 7%!
When you donate to help us purchase these hunting rights, your donation has a direct impact of protecting dozens of species from being commercially trophy hunted in over a quarter of the Great Bear Rainforest. Protecting these animals, that could otherwise be hunted for trophy, ensures a functioning ecosystem while also exemplifying the new conservation economy, as there are more than 19 ecotourism companies who rely on respectful wildlife viewing in this region.

We began purchasing hunting tenures back in 2005, and have since acquired 5 tenures adding up to more than 38,000 km2 of the BC coast – an area larger than Vancouver Island or the entire country of Belgium.
With your donation, we can continue working towards our goal of stopping commercial trophy hunting in the Great Bear Rainforest. We look forward to completing this goal with you!
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.
