What Campaigns Is the Valhalla Wilderness Society Currently Running?

Updated

The Valhalla Wilderness Society (VWS) is currently focused on two linked campaigns in British Columbia: protecting the province's Inland Temperate Rainforest and supporting the recovery of endangered Mountain Caribou. Its website highlights both under "Current Campaigns" and pairs them with a "Take Action Now" call, so the public can get involved directly.

The two current campaigns

Protecting British Columbia's Inland Temperate Rainforest

The Inland Temperate Rainforest is the ecosystem VWS is working to protect. This campaign is the broader land-protection effort: keeping the rainforest intact rather than letting it be logged or otherwise developed.

Recovery of endangered Mountain Caribou

The Mountain Caribou campaign is the species-recovery side of the same work. Mountain Caribou are described as endangered, and their recovery depends heavily on the state of the forest habitat above. That is why VWS presents the two campaigns together rather than as separate issues.

How the public can take action

VWS's site carries a direct "TAKE ACTION NOW" prompt tied to these campaigns. If you want to participate, the practical path is:

  1. Go to vws.org.
  2. Open the "Current Campaigns" section to read the details of each effort.
  3. Use the "Take Action Now" link to follow the specific action VWS is asking for at that time.

Because the exact action (petition, letter, comment period, donation request) can change, check the site itself rather than relying on a description of it.

Why these two campaigns are connected

Campaign What it targets Why it matters
Inland Temperate Rainforest Protection of the forest ecosystem Preserves the habitat the region's wildlife depends on
Mountain Caribou recovery An endangered species Caribou recovery depends on protecting that same habitat

The overlap is the point: habitat protection and species recovery are treated as one problem with two fronts.

Background on the organization

VWS describes itself as "Champions of Conservation Since 1975," and its site includes a "History of Valhalla Wilderness Society" section alongside "Latest News." If you want the most current status of either campaign — new developments, wins, or urgent alerts — the "Latest News" section is the place to check, since campaign priorities and calls to action are updated there over time.
