Canadas Great Bear Rainforest
Organization description:Founded in 1990, the Raincoast Conservation Foundation (RCF) is a team of conservationists and scientists empowered by research to protect the lands, waters and wildlife of Canada’s North Pacific coast and surrounding areas including the region known as the Great Bear Rainforest - the 250 miles of coastal watersheds and islands that lie between the Alaskan border and Knight Inlet in British Columbia, Canada. Our mandate is to investigate, inform, and inspire. We investigate to understand coastal species and processes – utilizing umbrella species such as wolves, grizzlies, salmon, marine mammals, and marine birds. We inform by bringing science to decision makers and communities – through producing public education materials including books, film documentaries, scientific reports and peer-reviewed papers, as well as outreach materials for the general public. We inspire by building a vision of stewardship for this fragile coastline through on the ground monitoring, photography, and videography of threatened terrestrial and marine habitat. Our field station and full time research vessel, based on the central coast of British Columbia, allow us to conduct year-round research throughout the marine and terrestrial environments of the Great Bear Rainforest and beyond. Numerous academic institutions, film crews, scientists, conservation organizations and media also utilize this infrastructure. Our main office is in Sidney, British Columbia. Currently we are looking to raise funding for our Marine Conservation program, which is focused on furthering the understanding of and protection for marine mammal and bird species, as well as their habitats. Raincoast is a registered non-profit with charitable tax-exempt status in the United States and Canada, therefore all donations are tax deductible.
