Conservationist, photographer and long time resident of the Great Bear Rainforest, Ian McAllister takes us on a deeply personal journey from the headwaters of the region's unexplored river valleys down to the hidden depths of the underwater world. Globally renowned for its astonishing biodiversity, the Great Bear Rainforest is also one of the most endangered landscapes on the planet and where First Nations are fighting for their way of life as massive energy projects threaten entire ecosystems.

McAllister's new book Great Bear Wild, a stunning collection of photographs and personal narrative, is a product of 25 years of research, exploration and advocacy for B.C.'s spectacular north and central coast. Ian will be presenting his images, videos and stories as well as information on current threats to the Great Bear Rainforest and strategies to protect its sensitive wildlife and habitat.
