About this event
Reel Causes, Y2Y, and theDock - Centre for Social Impact proudly invite our community, friends, and supporters, to a film night and a panel discussion to learn about the vanishing Caribou Rainforest, featuring the award winning documentary Last Stand, The Vanishing Caribou Rainforest.
Last Stand
Hidden in the interior of the Pacific Northwest is the largest remaining inland temperate rainforest on earth. This magnificent landscape is home to numerous First Nations communities, thousand year old trees and critical habitat for endangered species like mountain caribou. However, industrial development has pushed this ecosystem to the tipping point. The 34 minute documentary “Last Stand” puts the Caribou Rainforest on the map before it’s too late.
Discussion
You are also invited to join an engaging conversation with a panel of community experts after the film, including:
Lisa Matthaus, Provincial Lead for Organizing for Change
Sarah Korpan, Legislative Affairs Specialist for Ecojustice Canada
Tim Burkhart, BC Manager - Strategic Engagement and North for Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative
Moderated by Eric Buhne, Social Coordinator for theDock - Centre For Social Impact
