Put Wildlife First
What to Expect
With a provincial election certain to be called this year, the B.C. Wildlife Federation is bringing your concerns to the top of the campaign agenda. BCWF will press each and every candidate to commit to a management and funding model that will conserve and protect wildlife, with science as its foundation.
We will insist that candidates and parties put wildlife first in their platform. We will engage with candidates, hold town halls, and encourage our members to vote with wildlife in mind. We will ensure that you know which candidates and parties are committed to independent, science-based resource management, with transparent, legislated objectives for improvement.
Too many of British Columbia’s iconic species are in decline, with populations of steelhead and caribou at risk of extinction. Vital habitat, watersheds, and wetlands are in peril and potentially catastrophic infestations of invasive species are barely at bay, threatening fragile ecosystems.
The proportion of B.C.’s budget allocated for natural resource management has been in decline for 50 years, leaving wildlife monitoring, management, and habitat restoration chronically underfunded. The BCWF is demanding change from elected officials before our iconic wildlife species disappear forever.
