An Update on the Raincoast Conservation Foundation's goal of obtaining the hunting rights to the Kitlope area. A word below from their Executive Director. Hi Stuart We did it!... We have now raised the funds required to buy the Kitlope hunting tenure. You’ve helped us to permanently end commercial trophy hunting in the spectacular Kitlope Conservancy and surrounding area. We owe a huge thanks to you, all of our donors, and everyone who has helped us to raise the $650,000 required. Over the weekend conservation photographers Paul Nicklen and Cristina Mittermeier also lent their voices, and that of their organization SeaLegacy. With their help, we crossed the line at speed. We received hundreds of donations from throughout BC, across the United States and around the world with support coming from Australia, Austria, Germany, India, Sweden, the United Kingdom and United Arab Emirates! This success is another step towards our overall goal to buy all remaining commercial trophy hunting rights throughout the Great Bear Rainforest. Buying these rights will permanently end trophy hunting by non-residents in this vast coastal region. With a new government set to be in place, we will now focus on protecting BC’s wolves from recreational hunting, trapping and misguided wolf culls. Combined these two strategies are designed to protect the habitat and lives of all coastal carnivores, especially wolves, one of BC’s most persecuted animals. Whether you donated, shared a post, attended an event or simply expressed your encouragement, please join us in celebrating this win and stick with us as we continue our efforts to protect all of BC’s coastal carnivores. Further funds received for this campaign will support future purchases of commercial trophy hunting tenures and our efforts to protect all of BC's wolves. With thanks from all at Raincoast, Chris Genovali Executive Director

Just a little update on a photography competition that I’ve entered - I follow a great wildlife photographer Jared Lloyd Photography and he is running a fall competition for both beginners and advanced photographers. You are allowed to enter 5 images and the prize is $1500 in potential camera equipment. Here are the 5 images that I have entered. Fingers crossed!

Just donated to this great organization. https://www.raincoast.org//the-final-home-stretch-to-prot/

A couple of shots of our cottage River Otter - he just came in to finish its meal onshore. He has a den just a little ways along the shoreline and hopefully will remain for a few more summers.

I usually have two or three Private Commissions throughout the year and recently I have received a couple of inquires so I have added a page to my website to help explain. Take a look and if you are ever thinking of owning or gifting a personalized original piece of art from me, this should help to explain the process and costs involved. https://www.stuartarnett.com/pages/private-commissions

I just finished hanging Ambush at a clients home! Karen Sienna Gallery does an amazing job of the framing - all my originals are trusted to Karen. So pleased that Ambush has found a home near by.

Just received another 5 star review from a happy Etsy Store purchaser. My Etsy store has some smaller and less expensive pieces of art that make for great little gifts and decor ideas. Check it out here : https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/StuartArnettArt

If you love art and wildlife like I do, this is an opportunity to help out an amazing organization - the @raincoastconservation Foundation with their work on the BC Coast.
