In August, we’re launching a powerful media campaign to expose the brutal scale of British Columbia’s wolf cull.
Since 2015, more than 2,500 wolves have been killed and over $11.5 million in taxpayer dollars spent—all while critical caribou habitat continues to be logged, mined, and fragmented.
Instead of protecting the lichen-rich old-growth forests that caribou rely on for survival, the B.C. government scapegoats wolves.
The wolf cull stands in stark contrast to the “Beautiful British Columbia” brand that is marketed abroad, and this puts B.C.’s global reputation as a haven for wildlife and wild places at risk.
Tourism is one of B.C.’s most vital industries—outpacing even forestry and mining. In 2023 alone, it generated $22.1 billion in revenue, contributed $9.7 billion to the province’s GDP, and supported over 125,000 jobs.
This bold campaign aims to stop another deadly year of killing wolves, and demand that the B.C. government finally commits to long-lasting, science-based solutions for caribou before it’s too late.

In case you missed it: Pacific Wild conducted an intensive year-long investigation, reviewing more than 1,600 pages of internal government records obtained through Freedom of Information (FOI) requests. The findings reveal systemic cruelty, unethical practices, and potential violations of B.C.’s Wildlife Act.
Read our full investigation—including documents, field notes, and visual analysis.
As B.C.’s wolf cull enters its second decade, it’s time to demand an end to this deadly, ineffective program.
Tell Premier David Eby: End the cull. Protect habitat. Save caribou.
