Award-winning photographer Ian McAllister recently shared headlines with the International League of Conservation Photographers and their Great Bear RAVE expedition drawing international attention to issues facing the Great Bear Rainforest. “It’s a privilege to share the colourful and exciting lives of sea wolves with our coastal children,” says McAlister.=0D=0A=

"The Great Bear Rainforest is too special and important to be left in the hands of adults,” says Read. “That's why Ian and I decided it was time to tell kids about it. A place full of bears, wolves, whales and eagles. If that isn't worth preserving, what is?"The two wildlife books describe a typical year for Salmon Bears and Sea Wolves on BC’s north coast, including the wild and human threats that face each creature.=0D=0A=

Proposed projects, like the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline and tanker proposal, would put the coastline and the Great Bear Rainforest at risk of oil spills. Communities, First Nations, and local governments are leading the charge in opposition.=0D=0A=
