lovely people happy Friday fry yay we
made it to the end of the week isn't
that sweet I'm coming to you from
Orchard Park New York home of the
Buffalo Bills for a special project soon
to come we start today with an update on
inflation which is actually lower now
than it was a year ago so what does that
mean well prices across all goods and
services have not gone down but the pace
of price increases has slowed the latest
Consumer Price Index or CPI report is an
indicator for the price of a weighted
average of consumer goods and services
purchased by households the report
showed prices have been falling with
appliances health insurance and used
cars but Americans are still feeling
pain with their bills especially when it
comes to groceries car insurance and
even daycare and preschool prices so
with the latest reports are we now
trending out of the inflation will close
our Matt Egan has more the inflation
fire hasn't been put out but it does
increasingly look contained consumer
prices jumping by 4.9 percent year over
year in April that is the smallest
increase in exactly two years there have
now been 10 consecutive months of
cooling price gains unfortunately though
the pace of the Improvement has slowed
it's basically leveled out even though
it's currently at a level that is more
than twice what the FED is targeting now
on a month over month basis inflation
actually heated up between March and
April though a lot of that was driven by
a spike in used car prices and that
spike is not expected to last I'm
digging to the report there were
definitely some positives here a record
price drop on an annual basis for major
appliances and for health insurance on
an annual basis um used car prices are
actually down
grocery prices they're still going up
rapidly but even that has cooled off
on the other hand uh car insurance is up
more than 15 percent over the last year
so if you put it all together inflation
is clearly moving in the right direction
but the pace of the progress has slowed
and it's still too early to declare
Victory on inflation 10 seconds
located along the Pacific Pacific Coast
Quebec Ontario British Columbia or
Alberta
foreign
the westernmost province of Canada is
British Columbia defined by its mountain
ranges and Pacific coastline
let's head to British Columbia now to
the Great Bear Rainforest where the
indigenous First Nation Community has
taken steps to protect their land marine
and Wildlife which includes an
extraordinary sighting of a white bear
or spirit bear these protections have
impacted the ecosystem and the
community's livelihoods in just a few
short years our Bill Weir gives us a
tour from that stunning region
[Music]
behold the great bare rainforest
stretching for 250 miles of beautiful
Solitude along the coast of British
Columbia as part of the largest intact
Coastal temperate rainforest in the
world
it is a Wilderness the size of Ireland
and home to one of the most
extraordinary creatures on the planet
this peer pair is something that's
really unique when you get a Pure White
Bear coming out of a dark green forest
it just looks really magical and so we
want to protect that
Spirit bears are actually a subspecies
of black bear that due to a double
recessive gene aren't black at all but
this rare species is just one piece of a
vital wilderness
The Great Bear Rainforest is extremely
special I mean I think it's probably one
of the most biodiverse places on the
planet you still get wild things like
bears and wolves and abundance of salmon
and a bunch of different sea life you
still have old growth forest and so we
want to keep it like that
in the heart of this remote expanse is
the town of clem2 home to a community of
the kirasu heihei's First Nation who've
lived and thrived in this region for
thousands of years
this river is Right close to the
community we get three species of salmon
that come up this River and this is
their spawning ground
according to a recent report published
by the kitties this Rich ecosystem
suffered from a hundred years of
unsustainable extraction Fish Wildlife
and forests from outside interests so
right now we're just getting ready to
enter Bay and that's the area it's
probably the most important area
June of 2022 they announced the creation
of a marine protected area to preserve
the Herring stocks that are so vital to
both wildlife and the community Bay was
declared by the hereditary Chiefs that
was supported by the community and it
was launched so the rest of the world
knows about it we've engaged provincial
governments Federal governments we've
engaged stakeholders letting everyone
know that it's closed we've left the
document open to collaborate but the
push to reverse a centuries worth of
degradation actually started more than
two decades ago in 2000 they released
their own land and resource protection
and management plan aimed at building an
Economy based on conservation and
non-extractive activities like
eco-tourism I think indigenous knowledge
is super important and I think it needs
to be integrated whether it's Wildlife
Management fisheries management ocean
management you know I think right now we
are in a new era of collaboration we're
in this era of reconciliation and how do
you how do we work together how how do
indigenous people and non-indigitalous
people work together
neighboring First Nations first came
together in 2012 to issue a ban on
trophy hunting of bears and five years
later thanks to indigenous-led research
and Analysis the British Columbian
government banned the hunting of grizzly
bears across the entire province
and that was huge but we knew we weren't
quite finished yet in July of 2022 just
a month after the Marine protected area
was announced the government agreed to
put a stop to black bear hunting as well
First Nation leaders say they've now
managed to protect half of their
territory we've been working with
different levels of government different
levels of stakeholders it's been a lot
of negotiation a lot of debates a lot of
science a lot of collaboration and I
would say that 2022 was probably the
first time that we were able to see some
significant progress on some of these
files we have a belief that if you take
care of the land the land will take care
of you and so that's ingrained in all of
our work here it doesn't matter if it's
in stewardship if it's in tourism if
it's in Economic Development we want to
make sure that we're looking at
long-term sustainable Industries and we
want to make sure that we have a place
that the world can enjoy
