NRESi Colloquium: BC's Forgotten Rainforest. Eddie Petryshen, Wildsight
Deep in the heart of the BC's interior exists Canada's forgotten rainforest. BC's inland temperate rainforest is a place of immense beauty, biodiversity, and one of the most endangered temperate rainforests on the planet. A rainforest in which scientists are still discovering new species. A place where caribou still blaze trails through low elevation ancient cedar and hemlock in the same way they have for thousands of years. But these forests and this ecosystem is being lost at an alarming rate. Join Wildsight's Eddie Petryshen as he takes you deep into the remote reaches of this ecosystem and the people, places, and species that make the Inland Temperate Rainforest so incredible. Get inspired to help protect this rugged mountain ecosystem into the future.
