STAND takes students on a journey through the waters of British Columbia’s west coast into the heart of the largest temperate rainforest on the planet—the Great Bear Rainforest.
Films & Resources
To support teachers and students the Take a Stand team has compiled some valuable resources to support learning efforts as consistent with B.C.’s new curriculum. These include information about STAND film, the Great Bear Rainforest & Sea, Howe Sound, Our Salmon, and Outstanding Student films. This supports the mission of the Take a Stand program – and its main tenet – in which we want to encourage the honest, passionate, and powerful voices of youth – as a major way forward toward ecological protection and conservation, through art, film, science, and tipping point actions in the community.
Before the Beauty is Gone
An unfortunate reality: our fish are disappearing. Not our Salmon or our Halibut, but those will soon follow. Forage fish, a key segment of the marine food chain, is vanishing off the coast of British Columbia.
