 It's so TRAGIC that the Cowichan River is Drying Up and could completely dry up by the end of the month unless they get a huge rainfall.  http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2012/10/07/bc-cowichan-salmon.html

The Cowichan Tribes have stopped fishing

On Twitter I read that Volunteers are also trucking salmon up the river http://www.cfax1070.com/News/Top-Stories/Cowichan-River-too-dry-for-salmon-run-volunteers-t

My daughter pointed out, the bears are going to be very sad, not to mention many other creatures because there will be a lack of other animals in the forest because of the shortage of fish.  The Cowichan is a Gorgeous Green Rainforest with many  many animals depending on it, this truly is a huge environmental disaster and I hope people realize the seriousness of this situation, take responsibility, and take action quickly.
