The southern resident killer whale known as Tahlequah captured global sympathy in 2018 when she pushed the body of her dead calf for more than two weeks in waters off British Columbia's south coast.

Conservation groups have written to the federal environment minister requesting a review of a chemical used in tires that they say has been linked to the "mass deaths" of coho salmon.

A conservation group says its latest purchase of exclusive hunting rights in a British Columbia rainforest is a major step toward protecting the area's wildlife, but hunters say the move is an "abuse" of the licensing system.

The endangered whales roam waters off British Columbia and the U.S. northwest. Their dwindling population sits at 73, according to data from the American Marine Mammal Commission.

A fishing boat that sank with nearly 10,000 litres of fuel on board near the Canada−U.S. marine border went down in one of the worst possible places for endangered orcas, an ocean pollutants expert says.

Canada and its international partners have to commit to weaning themselves off unnecessary plastics and aggressively creating a global circular economy to curb marine plastic pollution at the UN Ocean Conference in Lisbon.

A coalition of at least eight environmental groups is threatening to sue Alberta Premier Jason Kenney for defamation if he doesn't retract and apologize for statements saying a public inquiry found they spread misinformation about the province's oil and gas industry.

A conservation effort is trying to put trophy hunting in B.C.'s famed Great Bear Rainforest in the crosshairs by purchasing the vast commercial hunting tenures held by guide outfitters in the wilderness area.

B.C. conservationists are wondering if Fisheries and Oceans Canada is going rogue and defying ministry orders by opening a commercial fishery on the Fraser River when endangered salmon stocks are collapsing.

At present, 1,200 barriers prevent salmon from swimming 2,000-plus kilometres of stream, and 85 per cent of rich floodplain habitat is diked and bone dry along the lower Fraser River.

The eroding social licence in B.C. to hunt large predators for sport rather than sustenance threatens public support for the majority of hunters, most of whom don’t endorse trophy hunting, said Chris Darimont, lead author of a new study on the issue.

A British Columbia environmental group has launched a legal petition alleging the provincial government's wolf cull to save caribou is breaking federal and provincial laws.

A government-sponsored wolf kill in Western Canada has had "no detectable effect" on reversing the decline of endangered caribou populations, a study says.

A British Columbia First Nation and three environmental groups hope to appeal a Federal Court of Appeal decision that limited their ability to challenge the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion in court.
