Pacific Salmon Foundation
Pacific Salmon Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to saving and restoring wild Pacific salmon in B.C. and the Yukon. Since 1987, we’ve been salmon first, salmon always, and we never go it alone. At Pacific Salmon Foundation, we work with First Nations, Government, ENGO partners, industry and all people for salmon who share the desire to save and restore these iconic species. With more than of Pacific Salmon populations in decline and some facing extinction, the time to act is now. Climate change is the greatest threat to Pacific salmon, but it’s not too late, we can help. With 300 community partners, we can advance game-changing research, habitat monitoring and restoration to help salmon overcome a myriad of challenges. For more, visit www.psf.ca
