           Wildlife 
            Viewing in British Columbia, Canada: 
          The diverse 
            landscape, which makes up the province of British Columbia, is also 
            responsible for the abundance of wildlife. The different ecosystems, 
            ranging from the semi-deserts, to the alpine tundra, and from the 
            Pacific Ocean to the Rockies is home to different plants and animals. 
            Each region with its distinct terrain and climate is also unique because 
            of the vegetation and wildlife inhabitants.  
             
            Viewing wildlife must be done responsibly, with courtesy and common 
            sense. Respect the animals and their habitats, learn about the local 
            regulations, do not trespass on private property and consider others. 
            When out viewing wildlife stay on designated trails and roads, never 
            feed or touch wild animals, avoid their nesting sites and dens and 
            leave pets at home. Use binoculars and keep your distance. Take home 
            pictures and memories only.
