The Panel met in Vancouver on January 19 and discussed a number of biological processes in regard to the issue of Kermode bears and logging. After thorough discussion of a range of topics, each led by a member of the Panel who had greatest expertise on the topic, we concluded that: the effect of logging in the Green River area is not sufficient to change the frequency of the white-phase or Kermode bear on Princess Royal Island over the term of many generations of bears On behalf of the Scientific Panel, thank you for the opportunity to contribute our collective expertise on this important matter.

  • The Birth of the Great Bear Rainforest: Conservation Science and Environmental Politics on British Columbia's Central and North Coast
    THE BIRTH OF THE GREAT BEAR RAINFOREST: CONSERVATION SCIENCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS ON BRITISH COLUMBIA'S CENTRAL AND NORTH COAST by JESSICA ANNE DEMPSEY B.Sc, The University of Victoria, 2002 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA July 2006 © Jessica Anne Dempsey, 2006 11 Abstract This thesis examines the birth of the Great Bear Rainforest, a large tract of temperate rainforest located on British Columbia's central and north coasts. While the Great Bear Rainforest emerges through many intersecting forces, in this study I focus on the contributions of conservation science asking: how did conservation biology and related sciences help constitute a particular of place, a particular kind of forest, and a particular approach to biodiversity politics? In pursuit of these questions, I analyzed several scientific studies of this place completed in the 1990s and conducted interviews with people involved in the environmental politics of the Great Bear Rainforest. My research conclusions show that conservation science played an influential role in shaping the Great Bear Rainforest as a rare, endangered temperate rainforest in desperate need of protection, an identity that counters the entrenched industrial-state geographies found in British Columbia's forests. With the help of science studies theorists like Bruno Latour and Donna Haraway, I argue that these conservation studies are based upon purification epistemologies, where nature - in this case, the temperate rainforest - is separated out as an entity to be explained on its own and ultimately 'saved' through science.

  • Northwest Coast Archaeology
    ANTH 442/542 - Northwest Coast Archaeology COURSE DESCRIPTION This course examines the more than 12,000 year old archaeological record of the Northwest Coast of North America, the culture area extending from southeast Alaska to coastal British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and northern California. This region has fascinated anthropologists for almost 150 years because its indigenous peoples have developed distinctive cultures based on fishing, hunting, and gathering economies. We begin by establishing the ecological and ethnographic background for the region, and then study how these have shaped archaeologists' ideas about the past. We study the contents of sites and consider the relationship between data, interpretation, and theory. Throughout the term, we discuss the dynamics of contact and colonialism and how these have impacted understandings of the recent and more distant pasts of these societies. This course will prepare you to understand and evaluate Northwest Coast archaeological news within the context of different jurisdictions. You will also have the opportunity to visit some archaeological sites on the Oregon coast. I hope the course will prepare you for a lifetime of appreciating Northwest Coast archaeology. WHERE AND WHEN Class: 10-11:50 am, Monday & Wednesday in Room 204 Condon Hall. Instructor: Dr. Moss Office hours: after class until 12:30 pm, and on Friday, 1:30-3:00 pm or by appointment 327 Condon, 346-6076; [email protected] REQUIRED READING: Moss, Madonna L. 2011 Northwest Coast: Archaeology as Deep History.

    GREAT BEAR RAINFOREST Arrival and Departure Information Aboard S/V Island Odyssey Start and Finish - Bella Bella 2013 This natural history voyage explores the protected waters of the north central coast of British Columbia – an area known as the ‘Great Bear Rainforest’. Conservationists have been actively working to protect this area as it contains the largest remaining untouched temperate rainforest on the Pacific Coast. It is home to many animals such as grizzly bears, wolves, humpback whales, and the elusive, all-white Spirit Bear.

At sea, we keep a sharp eye out for whales and other marine mammals as we travel the fiords below towering rock faces and rushing waterfalls. The Tshimshian and Heiltsuk First Nations people have lived in the area for thousands of years and we will learn about their culture and how important this remote and pristine wilderness is to them and their future generations. S AM P L E ITINERARY On all of our voyages we intentionally keep our itineraries flexible to take advantage of wildlife sightings, weather and tides, and the interests of the group.

  • From Towering Sitka Spruce Trees to Tiny Clouded Salamanders, the Temperate Rainforest Provides Critical Habitat to Countless Species of Plants and Animals
    From towering Sitka spruce trees to tiny clouded salamanders, the temperate rainforest provides critical habitat to countless species of plants and animals. Infinite cycles and relationships link these species together. Some, for example the banana slug, act as essential decomposers, helping to recycle decaying plant and animal material. Others, such as a standing dead Western redcedar tree, provide critical habitat for many animals, like bats, insects and owls. Ultimately, each species plays a vital role in the overall functioning of this special ecosystem.
