New Animated Film on Oil Tanker Risks: Cetaceans of the Great Bear

Share

Watch Pacific Wild’s latest release – a beautiful short animation
focusing on the whales of the Great Bear Rainforest. Produced by Picture
Cloud film & animation of Victoria B.C., this visually stunning and
thought-provoking animation explores the dire threats facing whales by
acoustic ship pollution. The return of Humpback and other species of cetaceans to the waters of
the Great Bear Rainforest is a welcome event since the dark days when
whale killing ships travelled our waters. But this may be short lived if
oil tankers begin moving Alberta tar sands crude through the Great
Bears fragile waters.

The release of this animation is timely. On May 2nd the Canadian public
go back to the voting booths and only one federal party supports oil
tankers in the Great Bear Rainforest. Never has one election meant so
much to our coastal environment. From PacificWild.org
