We won't be posting on X from today as it no longer aligns with our values. Don't lose touch though! We'd love to connect with you on Bluesky, and you can still find us on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok.

On January 21st, Ecojustice lawyers, on behalf of Wildsight, Wilderness Committee, and https://t.co/ip3qK1LLW9, sent a letter calling on federal government to comply with its legal obligations to protect endangered mountain caribou herds. Read more at https://t.co/fbYM8kUNTF

Today is International Day for Education! Here at Wildsight we believe that education is the key to making change in the world. We aim to foster a love for the wild in youths across the province — inspiring them to become the future protectors of our wild places.

ECCC's current timeline for posting an amended southern mountain caribou recovery strategy is 2026, but deep-snow caribou can’t afford to wait that long. We have given ECCC until March 19, 2025 to publish an amended southern mountain caribou recovery strategy.

Salvage logging isn’t about increasing forest regeneration — it’s about getting fibre to the mill, and planting fast-growing conifers as soon as possible to keep annual allowable cut rates high.

Today is World Snow Day! Whether it's getting out for a ski, taking a little one to play in the powder, or watching wildlife carry out their winter routines, are you celebrating snow today?! (Disclaimer: World Snow Day may not include snow.)

Winter solstice has big impacts in the wild. ‘Photoperiod’ is the scientific name for the change of day length, and it affects everything from when plants flower to when animals molt, mate, migrate, and hibernate. We hope that you have a wonderful very short day this solstice!

📢 Shout it from the mountaintops: all gifts between now and Dec 31 will be matched up to $20k!⁠ That's double the impact for the future of our wild places, and animals like this little pika. ⁠ ⁠ Make an online donation today:⁠ https://t.co/OSr1m4m84e ⁠ 📸 By Trevor Haldane

A fertilized embryo will only implant in a female grizzly's uterus if her fat reserves are sufficient to sustain her and developing fetuses throughout winter hibernation! This means a female grizzly can essentially biologically choose whether to become pregnant or not. Amazing!

The Elk Valley accounts for less than 1% of the grizzly bear range in BC, but accounts for 33% of road mortalities and 42% of rail mortalities for grizzlies province-wide.

Resource roads can impede the life requirements of species like bull trout. Roads cross streams which means water is diverted through culverts or under bridges. These culverts regularly result in a major loss of suitable habitat as they block or restrict bull trout movements.

Roads are amongst the largest contributors to landscape fragmentation, wildlife displacement and habitat loss for a broad range of species. We must reduce the sprawling resource road network which is increasingly threatening the future of fish and wildlife in this province.

Wildsight volunteers harvested almost 2,200 pounds of apples in Kimberley & Cranbrook this year! Our 'Apple Capture' program helps people keep their fruit trees maintained if they are unable to do it themselves— helping reduce attractants that are tempting to wildlife like bears.

Join us for an informal 'town hall' gathering to learn about proposed logging in the Upper St. Mary’s Valley. Potential logging plans from BC Timber Sales and Canfor could have significant impacts on the wildlife, biodiversity and ecosystems of this critical part of the Purcells.

On Nov 16, join an inspiring day of hope and hands-on solutions. Featuring keynotes, panel discussions, and practical workshops.⁠ Free admission; doors open at 8 a.m. at Holy Cross Church Hall, Creston. Symposium 9–4:30 pm.
