The BC government has already committed to #biodiversity legislation under the #OldGrowth strategic review, so if we apply pressure we’ll make sure this time they actually do it.
Sign the letter, and join the movement for further action! wildernesscommittee.org/Biod…

Today’s flower is Heart-Leaved Arnica (Arnica cordifolia). Check out BC Trails Day events, Saturday June 4th, to get out and see some of these delightful blooms. This medicinal plant can be used to treat inflammation & is important summer forage for mule deer. Status: Native.

After a year-long pause, the spotlight is back on a controversial proposal to double the size of the container terminal at Canada’s busiest port.
Reject Robert Banks Terminal 2: wildernesscommittee.org/take…
That a project within unmitigable impacts is even on the table highlights what's wrong with our economic paradigm.
That "environmental champion" @s_guilbeault may not pull the plug on it highlights what's wrong with the @liberal_party.

The terminal 2 project will significantly harm salmon, southern resident killer whales, barn owls, western sandpipers wetlands and more. @s_guilbeault is making a key announcement on it soon.

Today is #NationalSerpentDay Another day to celebrate snakes & how amazing and important they are. Here's a black mamba, feared by many because of its size and black mouth. Many myths are spread about this snake and today's another day to dispel those myths
These beauties are blue-listed in BC, aka threatened. And there's still no provincial law to protect them and their habitats! Learn more at wildernesscommittee.org/BCsp…
