*** About Great Bear Rainforest: Spanning 6.4 million hectares along the central and northern coast of British Columbia, Canada, the Great Bear Rainforest is one of the world's largest temperate rainforests. This ecological treasure houses a diverse array of wildlife including the Kermode (Spirit) bear, a rare subspecies of the black bear with white or cream-colored fur. The region is also home to towering ancient cedars and Sitka spruce trees, coexisting with a rich marine environment where whales, dolphins, and sea lions abound. The Great Bear Rainforest is not only a critical habitat for numerous species but also a vital resource for carbon storage, playing a significant role in combating global climate change.
