Again, thank you so much for everything you do. I'll be sure to refer any questions I have regarding the Sun Bear to you.
Thanks,
Ashley

- Hello Wong,
I became a member of UFP a couple months ago and I feel the need to tell you...
Your work is absolutely inspiring to me. I am now, sitting where you were a couple of years ago as a university student determined to give their life to conservation and the animals of the Earth. My interest are somewhat similar and yet very different, but you are slowly becoming one of my idols. The saying, "Lions, Tigers, and Bears! Oh my!" was, in my opinion, made for me. I hope to work with large carnivores like large cats and bears for the rest of my life. The work you've done has convinced me that it's possible. As well, I'm very sorry for the tragedies you must face everyday with the poor Sun Bears. It's so upsetting to see the things people do to animals without even a second thought. Everyday, my heart drops a little more with the approach of full-onslaught tiger farming, the pre-existing torture of bears, and the persecution of all our charismatic megafauna. You're a beautiful person and thank you sooooo soooo much for what you do each day. You are an inspiration to all of us students scratching at the graduation gate, desperately waiting to get out there in field with you and make a difference...
With love and admiration,
Ashley

About
Eco photos show the beauty and destruction of Mother Earth. Pictures sound the alarm; wake us up; and motivate us toward activism.
ECO KUDOS
The award is not designed to be a quiet, academic, scientist-focused event, but instead an energetic and spectacular celebration of conservation victories. The goal is to inspire the general public to start caring about conservation, and to place heroes, who live in tents in danger of both wild beasts and poachers, on the pedestal that we usually reserve for sports and entertainment stars.
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.
TAKE ACTION!
Replace your lawn with native shrubs, flowers and trees. Plant a butterfly garden, and put in a pond. You'll benefit from the beauty and tranquility of your yard, and wildlife will benefit from the food and water sources that you provide.
Need some guidance? Read the book Bringing Nature Home.
Save indigenous people.
Stand up for workers' rights.
Be kind to animals.
Stop factory farms.

Live your conscience.
Save our oceans.
Stop the #1 polluter of water.
Support a sustainable planet.
