Conservation of British Columbia's fish and wildlife is important in today's world. With increasing urbanization in the province, expanding road networks, large dams, exploration, mining and forestry, it seems that this province's fish, wildlife and habitat are stressed in a way that they were not 50 or 100 years ago. Fish and game clubs, hunters and fisher men and women are observing the decline of fish and wildlife populations as our modern day world competes for the same land, waterways and oceans. It is the hunters and the people who fish who all contribute significant time and money to enhancing habitat, contributing to research, helping reclaim land, and rebuilding fish and wildlife stocks. On-going conservation and education is the key to the survival of fish and wildlife. This past 40 years, the Salmon Arm Fish and Game Club (SAFGC) has been involved in habitat, fish and wildlife enhancement projects. We have contributed in-king and through funding to help the Shuswap. This is what the proceeds of this raffle will go towards.
