Flowing Forward
Richmond / Canada /1664
The Fraser River, one of British Columbia’s most treasured environmental assets, flows 1,375 km into the Pacific Ocean at the Strait of Georgia. Over centuries, anthropogenic activities driven by resource extraction, urbanization, and industrialization have led to the shrinking of river delta ecosystems and the alteration of mixed wet forests. These changes, though driven by human ambition, have come at a profound environmental cost. Wetlands – once vibrant ecosystems that| filtered water, stored carbon, and provided habitats for countless species – have diminished, leaving in their wake a fragile, fragmented and lost landscape.
