Experience the rough-and-tumble camaraderie between tree-planters in British Columbia’s wilderness, as seen through the eyes of their adorable canine companions. Amidst the devastating impact of wildfires, deforestation, and record-breaking heat, these tree-restorers live day by day, “on the block.” As one reflects, “Suburbia was never an option for us.”

In the past few decades, the Salish Sea's salmon population has been in rapid decline, endangering an entire ecosystem. Now, members of the 50+ Indigenous tribes of the Salish Sea, who have long relied on salmon for sustenance and ceremony, are speaking up. Managed to Extinction elevates the voices of an Indigenous visionary and an orca scientist as they work together to find a solution.
