2025 has not been a good year for the climate 😵💫
Across Canada, governments are rolling back environmental protections, using U.S. tariffs as an excuse.
The only real path forward? Ending #fossilfuel dependence and rapidly building a renewable energy future.

Seven insect species are found nowhere in the world — except in South Okanagan and the Similkameen Valleys.
This ecosystem is home to unique #biodiversity. But it is also one of the most endangered #ecosystems in Canada.

Fracking companies extract a staggering amount of freshwater from local lakes and rivers, which is mixed with harmful chemicals to create frac fluid.
This poisonous water can seep into aquifers, causing lasting pollution.

The northern spotted owl, a striking medium-sized owl with distinctive dark-brown eyes, is the most critically endangered species in Canada.
Unfortunately, industrial logging destroyed the owl's #oldgrowth forest habitat. Only a single wild-born #spottedowl remains today.

Thousands of southern mountain caribou once roamed the temperate rainforests in B.C. 🫎
Today, multiple herds have already disappeared, and many more are quickly reaching that same fate. Despite being a species at risk, the B.C. gov continues to clear swaths of #caribou habitat. #oldgrowth

Old-growth forests are more than just trees; they are entire ecosystems. Plants, animals, fungi and other living things all rely on these ancient giants to live.
When #oldgrowth trees are logged, it's more than just a tree that's lost; it's an entire #ecosystem.

Southern Mountain #Caribou are at-risk of extinction, with several herds now extripated (locally extinct).
To top it off, our recent research found that thousands of hectares of old-growth forests are either approved or pending approval for logging across the range of endangered herds. #bcpoli
