    Land of the Spirit Bears September 14 – 26, 2015 Cocver: Ignacio Yúfera Expedition Overview Known as Canada’s “forgotten coast,” British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest evokes a bygone time, with its ancient firs and Sitka Spruce towering 350 feet into the air, providing cover for its unique and mythical-seeming animal subspecies, like the white Kermode, or Spirit, Bear. All of the wildlife present when Captain Vancouver sailed here in 1793, still exists, and in abundance. Virtually roadless, it’s a land of densely forested islands and mist-shrouded fjords that reach back into the glacier-capped Coastal Mountain range.

  • The Evolution Deceit
    About The Author Now writing under the pen-name of HARUN YAHYA, Adnan Oktar was born in Ankara in 1956. Hav- ing completed his primary and secondary education in Ankara, he studied arts at Istanbul's Mimar Sinan Univer- sity and philosophy at Istanbul University. Since the 1980s, he has published many books on political, scientific, and faith-related issues. Harun Yahya is well-known as the author of important works disclosing the imposture of evo- lutionists, their invalid claims, and the dark liaisons between Darwinism and such bloody ideologies as fascism and com- munism. Harun Yahya's works, translated into 63 different lan- guages, constitute a collection for a total of more than 45,000 pages with 30,000 illustrations. His pen-name is a composite of the names Harun (Aaron) and Yahya (John), in memory of the two esteemed Prophets who fought against their peoples' lack of faith. The Prophet's seal on his books' covers is symbolic and is linked to their con- tents. It represents the Qur'an (the Final Scripture) and the Prophet Muhammad (saas), last of the prophets. Under the guid- ance of the Qur'an and the Sunnah (teachings of the Prophet [saas]), the author makes it his purpose to disprove each funda- mental tenet of irreligious ideologies and to have the "last word," so as to completely silence the objections raised against religion. He uses the seal of the final Prophet (saas), who attained ultimate wisdom and moral perfection, as a sign of his intention to offer the last word. All of Harun Yahya's works share one single goal: to convey the Qur'an's message, encour- age readers to consider basic faith-related is- sues such as Allah's existence and unity and the Hereafter; and to expose irreligious sys- tems' feeble foundations and perverted ide- ologies.

This has caused substantial biodiversity loss, contributed to climate change, and perpetuated poverty amongst local communities. Unsustainable smallholder agriculture and ranching are the principle drivers of deforestation and degradation in the Amazon basin of Peru. Planting for the Future aims to relieve smallholders of their reliance on these activities by implementing a market‐orientated agroforestry model following a programmatic approach.
