In  Stories from the Field

Thanks to our continued time in the field gathering content for NatureLabs.ca, we were able to spend some quality time in Mount Robson and other key areas to bring the story of Canada’s biodiversity to life for high school students. In fact, this year was probably our luckiest year yet.

A Voice for the Spirit Bears
May 1, 2019 By  Ghost Bear With  0 Comment
In  Simon Jackson  /  Stories from the Field

While Simon took a particular perspective in tying to save the spirit bear, he always believed the issue was about reconciling different perspectives to find a solution that would meet the needs of all stakeholders. And while nothing is ever perfect, the final plan that truly saved the bear was supported by over 90% of British Columbians, proving that we can find a better balance between the needs of people and nature without being disagreeable or advancing solutions that will divide.

    Our jaws dropped to the snowy ground when we witnessed this lynx running toward our car. We soon realized that it was chasing another lynx, hoping for a little companionship.⁠

    “There are an awful lot of scientists today who believe that before very long we shall have unraveled all the secrets of the universe. There will be no puzzles anymore. To me, it’d be really, really tragic because I think one of the most exciting things is this feeling of mystery, feeling of awe, the feeling of looking at a little live thing and being amazed by it and how it has emerged through these hundreds of years of evolution and there it is and it is perfect and why.”⁠
