The Lax Kul Nii Luutiksm/Bonilla Conservancy was established in 2006 surrounding Bonilla Island (Lax Kul), located along the North Coast of British Columbia, Canada.[2]

The conservancy protects predator-free islets for seabirds and numerous marine and terrestrial species.[3] Located in this conservancy is a pre-contact Gitxaala village site and shell midden.
