About your Bird Guide: Kris Cu

Kris Cu is a biological sciences graduate from SFU and is passionate about biodiversity conservation, sustainability and science communication. He grew up in the bustling city of Manila, Philippines where he was first introduced to birdwatching by his father. Upon moving to Canada, he carried over his love for birds and is grateful to be currently working for Birds Canada. Nowadays, he is often seen with a camera in the field as he attempts to capture images of the incredible wildlife and nature around him.

Since time immemorial, Coast Salish peoples have lived reciprocally with the land, harvesting and cultivating foods and medicines and practicing ceremony. The abundance of these lands and waters, which enables us to live, work, and play here today, is a result of the past and on-going stewardship and advocacy of the Coast Salish peoples.
