The Film: Last Stand: The Vanishing Caribou Rainforest

Hidden in the interior of the Pacific Northwest is the largest remaining inland temperate rainforest on earth. This magnificent landscape is home to numerous First Nations communities, thousand year old trees and critical habitat for endangered species like mountain caribou. However, industrial development has pushed this ecosystem to the tipping point.

The 34-minute documentary Last Stand puts the Caribou Rainforest on the map before it’s too late.
