''The Tla-o-qui-aht Tribal Parks are located in Clayoquot Sound on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, BC. Visitors and locals in Tofino are encouraged to take the ʔiisaak Pledge, which outlines respectful behaviors and practices to follow during their stay.''

I just took the pledge and you can too here: https://www.tribalparks.com/visit-responsibly

Hard to show the scale of this old growth beauty from this shot. It takes about 4 humans, holding hands, to hug the whole trunk of this ancient yellow cedar tree.

I spent 3.5 months here in my first #CivilDisobedience action in my teens. Which led to a lifelong commitment to protect all old growth in BC.

Photos from #Tofino #WildSalmon #FishFarmsOut #Flotilla #Protest led by #Indigenous #FirstNations leaders from #VancouverIsland. Wild salmon are a #keystonespecies & need protection. Government failed on federal & provincial levels to help #SaveWildSalmon & they're at risk of #extinction in my lifetime. #MotherNature needs humans to stand up, speak out & take actions to try to protect #WildFirst - we're past tipping points w/rampant #ecocide & need to stop trying to profit from nature. #Canada
