One Shot for Coastal Carnivores is a collection of photographs to help safeguard coastal carnivores

In support of our efforts, with Coastal First Nations, to permanently end commercial trophy hunting of all large carnivores on the coast of British Columbia, Raincoast curated a unique collection of art called One shot for Coastal Carnivores.

Each donated piece tells a story of the importance of protecting coastal carnivores. Large prints have been  auctioned online and exhibited in Vancouver, Victoria and Whistler. You can still purchase select prints in our online store with all the proceeds going towards our Safeguarding Coastal Carnivores Campaign.

The Fraser River estuary should be a thriving ecosystem for juvenile salmon, a place to rest, feed, and grow before heading out to the ocean. Today, much of that habitat has been replaced by rip-rap, cement, and other engineered materials that offer little of what salmon actually need. This winter, our team worked to address…
