National Geographic embarks on a 250-mile adventure through unspoiled territory along the coast of British Columbia called the Great Bear Rain Forest. It is here that bear-hunting wolves take to the sea, grizzlies clash in titanic battles and wild salmon are the pulsing lifeblood of an entire ecosystem. As this precious habitat faces an uncertain future, threatened by chainsaws and fish farms, a team of dedicated scientists is racing to prove that it must be protected.

Thank you so much. I am a lover of the earth and all the animals there in. I hurt for a land, animals and a time that has past. I ache for those plants and creatures that my granchildren will never know. The lush natural beauty that so many will never see. God’s wonderful nature is being distroied by the most intellegent creature that he made to care for and nuture it.
