On the remote coast of British Columbia, the Great Bear Rainforest is one of the largest remaining temperate rainforests in the world and home to the Gitga’at people, who have lived in balance with this land for generations. Central to their cultural stories is the spirit bear—a rare white variant of the black bear, believed to carry spiritual significance and now thought to number only a few hundred. Photographers are drawn here by the chance to see one, though sightings are never guaranteed. Yet even in their absence, the forest rewards patience: salmon moving through clear rivers, herons stalking the shallows, and the quiet stillness of moss-draped cedars create an atmosphere of deep calm. It is a place where rarity and reverence meet, offering photographers more than just an image, but a deep connection to wilderness few ever experience.
