We've Got Spirit Bear, Yes We Do

Photos of B.C.‘s renowned—and threatened—Great Bear Rainforest 0

The Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia -- home to the legendary white spirit bear, as well as huge grizzlies, rare wolves, countless salmon, and other wildlife galore -- is one of the only remaining pristine regions of temperate rainforest left on earth. Take a virtual tour through this biological hotspot with the Raincoast Conservation Society, which is fighting to stave off looming threats to the region -- from clearcutting and oil drilling to sport hunting and poaching.
