Pacific Wild and a growing international network that includes conservation groups, First Nations and wildlife-viewing companies are calling on the B.C. government to end the trophy hunting of bears in the Great Bear Rainforest.  The network, representing 20 million people from 40 different countries, released their latest ad today.  Read the press release. Download today's full page ad (pdf). Read Mark Hume's article "Impending spring hunt imperils iconic spirit bear". (02/24/10) in Canada's GLOBE AND MAIL. Download last week's ad (pdf) Check out www. pacificwild.org to see Global TV's newscast on this issue, along with other articles of interest.		Pacific Wild and Valhalla Wilderness Society release the following map showing that trophy hunting is allowed in over 98 % of spirit bear genetic range.  View larger map (pdf). Please take a moment to sign a new and unique petition.   The “Faltering Light” visual petition is a high quality book containing an open letter to the B.C. government requesting that trophy hunting of bears is stopped, essays from leading environmentalists, Andrew Wright's stunning sepia- toned bear photographs and YOUR SIGNATURES supporting the termination of the trophy hunt. The book will be delivered to Premier Gordon Campbell & Environment Minister Barry Penner before the trophy hunt resumes in April. Your letters do make a difference!
