Founder

Hi, my name is Namwoo Kim. I am a grade 12 student who is currently attending ST. Thomas Aquinas Regional Secondary School in Vancouver, Canada. I am passionate about animal rights and health as I have been working as an intern at a local vet clinic for the last few years. During my time at the clinic, I became increasingly aware of a critical issue facing our society: the challenges surrounding wildlife, particularly in British Columbia. Over the past few years, there has been a significant increase in the number of bear sightings in residential areas, highlighting the alarming reduction in their natural habitats. This phenomenon underscores the urgent need to address the loss of their territories and the burden it places on both wildlife and communities. To this end, the organization was founded with the mission of raising awareness, educating the public, and taking action to tackle challenges faced in our community. In our events, we prioritize the protection of wildlife animals such as bears or coyotes in British Columbia. Through this organization, I aim to foster a community that promotes the ethical treatment of wild-life animals, and spearhead initiatives that can contribute to the welfare and preservation of wildlife.
