Beautiful calendars that contribute to bear conservation!

One year ago today, we banned the grizzly bear trophy hunt province-wide. I'm still so goshdarn proud of the years of work done by folks like Bears Forever Raincoast Conservation Foundation and others to make it happen.

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of the BC-wide grizzly hunting ban! ❤️ ~300 bears were saved this year alone. Huge thanks to all of our partners who worked so hard to make this happen. And big thanks to Cheeky, who helped us reach this milestone. youtu.be/NDg24d8fF1Q
