  • Hey BC friends! Important old-growth strategic review to fill out - takes 5 minutes. Weigh in with your thoughts on the last remaining OG trees here in the province. Link through the repost below... 👍 #Repost @endangeredecosystemsalliance ・・・ Hey friends, only 8 days left until the Jan.31st deadline for public input to BC's Old-Growth Strategic Review on how to manage old-growth forests in BC. Sign our action alert (link in our bio) If you are a British Columbian, be sure to also fill-in the official questionnaire (a link is in the action alert page). ***This process is a key stepping stone in the decades-long campaign to save endangered old-growth forests in BC. We must go FULL-ON right now with the public outreach to send a resounding and overwhelming message to the BC government through thousands of concerned citizens to finally end logging of endangered old-growth forests. Two dozen generous donors have donated $2800 now for our Facebook and Instagram ads, which will allow us to reach about 250,000 British Columbians - help us reach a million British Columbians (the vast majority of whom have no clue this whole process that may determine the fate of ancient forests in their province is underway and almost at an end). Can you DONATE? https://www.EndangeredEcosystemsAlliance.org ***Check out these pics of a few of the crazy and beautiful unprotected giant Sitka spruce that we've recently located among at least 22 unprotected such groves in the San Juan Valley east of Port Renfrew in Pacheedaht territory on Vancouver Island. #sitkaspruce #bigtrees #ancientforests #oldgrowth #oldgrowthforests #bigtree

  • Marking 10 years on the mountain, Dark Mountain Issue 16 is out now. Working with this courageous team is one of the most satisfying professional relationships in my career and, as I’ve mentioned before, my small part within these publications speaks to the heart of my work and why I make it. Included is work from Solastalgia and Unknown Entities and my first published writing piece (!) Also great to see Meryl McMaster’s stellar work, a fellow Canadian artist and acquaintance, also represented by The Baldwin Gallery, UK. “The hardback books have always been at the centre of what we do, the project’s heartbeat and rhythm. Navigating a territory beyond progress, they log the testimonies of writers and artists confronting the existential and experiential questions about our predicament, in all their beauty, joy and terror. The issue you hold in your hands is a threshold publication. It contains 56 responses to an invitation sent to some of our most seasoned ‘mountaineers’ – fellow travellers who have walked alongside the project at different twists and turns on its journey, some for the long-haul, some for a brief spell. We invited everyone to reflect on the undercurrents of the last ten years, from the big picture to the microscopic, and then to look at what lies ahead. It marks a pivotal moment, not only in our existence as a project, but also the closing of a tumultuous decade, a decade which has made the refuge provided by Dark Mountain seem more crucial than ever.” - The Editors, DM #darkmountain #solastalgia #unknownentities #davidellingsen @thebaldwingallery

They have been shortlisted for the Photolucida Critical Mass Book Award, appeared in National Geographic, and awarded First Place at the Prix de la Photographie Paris and the International Photography Awards.⠀ ⠀ Ellingsen lives and makes his work in Canada's Pacific Northwest, moving between Victoria and the remote island of Cortes where he was raised.⠀ ⠀ http://www.davidellingsen.com ⠀ #SSNAP2019 #FollowtheArt
