and you should, you will notice that British Columbia
lost more old growth forest this summer, than the last 2 centuries of commercial logging.
Lost more old growth forest this summer than the last 2 centuries of commercial logging.
Trudeau, in retrospect making a mocking PR stunt, promised to plant 2 billion trees over ten years. He didnt, but thats not the point.
The point is: Climate took 24 Billion 🇨🇦Trees this summer.
24 billion

Continuing drought being the biggest problem. Her answer was 15-50%. #ClimateEmergency is here and we are still waiting for our provincial government to act on the 14 recommendations reform our forestry industry. #OldGrowth is still being logged and DRAX is still harvesting for wood pellets

"The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the appeal application from the B.C. Crown and awarded costs to protester Ryan Henderson.
In light of that decision, the cases against other people who took part in the Fairy Creek blockade on southern Vancouver Island have been withdrawn."

'Most properties of natural ecosystems are developed by the ecosystem itself, without human intervention. Natural ecosystems, like primary forests, are complex, self-organizing, self-regulating and, therefore, self-sustaining... That nature can and should be “managed” is a deeply held belief in professional forestry. However, natural ecosystems do not require management.' #oldgrowth #forest https://www.nationalobserver.com/2023/08/01/opinion/we-cant-manage-nature

This #oldgrowth savanna forest, part of a critical wildlife corridor in #darwin #australia may be bulldozed in the next week to make way for a housing development. The #endangered #gouldianfinch has been nesting in the area because there are trees like this. Federal environment minister Tanya Plibersek thinks a 50m buffer zone around the dam will keep the birds there. This is not based on science.

They know telling ppl they'll plant a ton of trees or lying about cleanups helps their #corporate #greenwashing laundry.
You're dumb ASF to believe it. You can plant 50 million trees - most won't survive. Ancient #OldGrowth #forests have #irrreplaceable #CarbonSinks essential to planetary survival for all living beings. Abandoned wells poison, still.

Belated #ThickTrunkTuesday entry.
This #ancient red #cedar is close to 500 yrs old. It's one of the last remaining #OldGrowth cedars within #CRD area on South #VancouverIsland & we need rest of unprotected #AncientForests protected for perpetuity.

Good article on all involved in protecting BC Old Growth, which is in fact shorthand for protecting our critical CO2 sequestering resources and the last examples of an ecosystem being eradicated from the planet.
