Look Out! We take action and pictures to heal the Earth.

Exploring Biodiversity is packed with ideas and information designed to help you explore both the ecological and social dimensions of biodiversity with students. The guide was designed for use with students aged 11-14, but it works well with younger and older age groups too.

ECO KUDOS

With both acknowledged and possible calamities as compelling and urgent
catalysts, Raincoast Conservation is advocating for British Columbia's first fully protected salmon runs. The move is an effort to save the grizzly bear species.

This bold and ambitious proposal runs contrary to the historical underpinnings of salmon management, as fisheries managers have always assumed that salmon exist exclusively for human consumption.

According to Raincoast, it is a matter of competition, and the odds are stacked against carnivores in these coastal salmon forests.

I've seen this. It's quite disturbing. It reminds me so much of Bear Baiting. I feel the same way about fur-trappers. They catch the animal using a horrible leg-hold trap or snare... and then when they see that they've caught it, they club it over...

It's absolutely appalling what happens in zoos nowadays. I remember watching a video about a lioness, who had had it's teeth removed, and was sent after a goat. It couldn't kill the goat, but it terrified the goat and completely baffled and screwe...
