Program background
British Columbia is home to some of the most iconic wildlife species and beautiful landscapes in Canada, but tragically many of these same species are under attack from trophy hunters and habitat destruction. But we're pushing back.

Through our work protecting wildlife in BC, Humane World for Animals Canada, formerly called Humane Society International Canada, helped to secure a complete ban on hunting grizzly bears in 2017. Humane World Canada is now working with animal protection and conservation groups, scientists and First Nations to end trophy hunting of BC’s most beloved species, including cougars, black bears and wolves.
Thousands of wild mammals are slain by trophy hunters in BC each year. Trophy hunters prefer to kill the largest, strongest animals, whose loss causes population declines in big cats and bears, among other species. Humane World Canada works to raise public awareness and end political support of trophy hunters’ interests, as well as improve legal protections and encourage alternatives, such as ecotourism. In fact, compared to trophy hunting, wildlife-watching tourism generates far more income to support conservation and provides far more jobs to local people. Our work in BC, and across Canada, is focused on encouraging peaceful coexistence between humans and wild animals and ensuring the protection of wild species.
Responsible wildlife watching
Humane Journeys maintains a responsible and respectful animal-watching program. You will always be accompanied by experts who take the necessary precautions to help ensure your safety and that our presence does not disturb the animals.
