Who
cares
about
salmon?
T
he Pacific Salmon Foundation
is commemorating 30 years of
stewardship in 2017, and it's on
these kinds of occasions that our annual
"Who Cares About Salmon?" feature feels
particularly important. Because if there's
one thing that's been made clear over
these past three decades, it's that a whole
lot of British Columbians care about the
welfare of salmon, and the many species
and ecosystems that rely upon them. Any
successes we've had, any milestones we've
hit, can be traced to the partners, donors
and volunteers who give so generously
of their time and resources to support
research, restoration and enhancement;
for that reason, we're excited to provide a
space for them to share what first sparked
their passion for conservation, as well as
their thoughts on what needs to happen
to ensure this keystone species survives
and thrives for generations to come. From
government ministers to community
volunteers, young scientists to veteran
sports anglers, here are just a few of the
people raising their voices for salmon.
