Ian McAllister is the co-founder of the wildlife conservation organization Pacific Wild. Join the conservationist, photographer, and longtime Great Bear Rainforest resident as he takes us on a deeply personal journey from the headwaters of the region’s unexplored river valleys down to the hidden depths of the offshore world. Globally renowned for its astonishing biodiversity, the Great Bear Rainforest is also one of the most endangered landscapes on the planet, where First Nations people fight for their way of life as massive energy projects threaten entire ecosystems.
McAllister’s new book Great Bear Wild, a stunning collection of photographs and personal narrative, is the product of twenty-five years of McAllister’s research, exploration, and campaigning for the spectacular area he calls home.
“Through breathtaking photographs and moving prose, McAllister’s Great Bear Wild presents a compelling case for the urgent need to protect, in perpetuity, one of the most magnificent ecosystems on the planet—the increasingly threatened Great Bear Rainforest.”
– Jane Goodall on Ian McAllister’s book Great Bear Wild
