The white coated Kermode Bear, or "Spirit Bear," is one of the many special creatures that inhabit The Great Bear Rainforest, an ancient Canadian landmark that is under threat. Conservationist and photographer Ian McAllister talks about what his organization Pacific Wild is doing to protect the forest. Then author Tovar Cerulli talks about walking the fine line between hunting for food and animal conservation, which is the subject of Cerulli’s new book The Mindful Carnivore. Then it’s The Loh Down on Science with Sandra Loh and a story about the relationship between two species of fish native to South America.

Protecting spirit bear habitat means that many other animals are also protected. If the habitat can be protected for the spirit bear, many other species sharing the same ecosystem will also be protected. - Michael Courouleau
