#Glyphosate used in Nova Scotia :ns_flag: #HighProductionForestry has been demonstrated to cross the blood-brain barrier. Scientists from Arizona State University 🇺🇸 found evidence that glyphosate exposure increases pro-inflammatory cytokines. Science has known that glyphosate exposure correlates with Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.

#UCL researchers using a 3D scanning technique estimate the above ground carbon stores are almost double previous estimates. Giving a #WinWinForNature. This means that #ClearCutting would result in double the loss in carbon value.

Through preserving old growth canopy cover, we could engineer greater carbon sequestration during droughts. Clear-cuts must end, and single selection management must preserve old growth. In Nova Scotia :ns_flag: this would translate to ending "High Production Forestry".
