Join Pacific Wild’s Ian McAllister for a multi-media event celebrating the launch of his new book, Great Bear Wild - Dispatches from a Northern Rainforest. Through breathtaking photographs and moving prose, McAllister's Great Bear Wildpresents a compelling case for the urgent need to protect, in perpetuity, one of the most magnificent ecosystems on the planet—the increasingly threatened Great Bear Rainforest. DR. JANE GOODALL, UN Messenger of Peace Conservationist, photographer and long-time Great Bear Rainforest resident 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, where First Nations people 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 the product of twenty-five years of McAllister’s 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 and strategies to protect its sensitive wildlife and habitat.
