***About British Columbia's Rainforests

***: British Columbia's rainforests represent some of the most expansive and biologically diverse areas in Canada. These temperate rainforests, located primarily on the Pacific coast, are characterized by their high rainfall, dense fog, and a canopy dominated by large conifers. Home to a myriad of wildlife and plant species, some of which are found nowhere else on Earth, these forests are crucial for environmental balance, providing habitat, oxygen, and acting as significant carbon sinks. Conservation efforts continue to play a vital role in preserving these unique ecosystems from the threats of logging and urban expansion.
