"We went to the communities most impacted by the #Highwood. I was very grateful to get to speak with Mayor @mayorsnod who signed on immediately with the call to halt #EasternSlopes logging, understanding the implications of what #ClearCutLogging means for the area."

Kananaskis clearcuts: outdated laws, new threats

How obsolete regulations and practices are endangering one of Alberta’s most unique and beloved wildlands

We need the #BCgovernment to get the message from concerned communities across B.C. that we must work together and with urgency to #protect #OldGrowthForests and #reform #forestry practices. To do so, the next steps are crucial:

#StopLogging in the most at-risk #OldGrowth #forests, and other #ecosystems identified by First Nations, by providing promised funding for #LoggingDeferrals.

Provide full #FinancialSupport to #FirstNations for long-term #IndigenousLed #conservation solutions, including #compensation for lost revenues and employment.

Move away from the “all or nothing” approach common in forestry practices across B.C. and most evident in #ClearcutLogging. In its place, work with First Nations, local residents, industry and other stakeholders to implement forestry practices that prioritize important values like #biodiversity, #habitat, #WaterRetention, #Indigenous #CulturalUse, and #tourism.

We can protect communities from drought and wildfires by taking better care of forests. Will you call for a reform in forest stewardship?

They keep killing the ancients.
Men who kill elder trees, are men who kill their children's futures.
Souls must be disconnected from nature & their spirits desperate for money, for them to be OK destroying #OldGrowth forests, for a temporary paycheque.
There are more ethical ways to earn a living.
Stop believing industrial & government #greenwashing lies.
#ClearcutLogging kills #ecosystems & throws #ecological balance out of whack.

Government tells us to not fret, that they're managing #forestry better - they're #greedy, #sellout #LIARS. You can go see for yourself, how many clearcuts are still happening on big scales, at several places across Vancouver Island & some parts of BC interior where greedy corporations are decimating the last inland #TemperateRainforest in the world. Our #neoliberal BC NDP government is OK with ongoing mass ecocide - they get money from industry lobbyists 🤑🤮😡

Don't stop, fighting to #ProtectOldGrowth #forests 🌲❤️🌲 #AncientTrees need #ForestDefenders in times of increased, rampant #CorporateGreed & sellout #ecocide enabling governments ✊️

#StopDeforestation ✊️🌲🌳🙏

Two past #photographs together ->

#BigLonelyDoug layered over #deforestation #clearcuts 😢 in #CowichanValley
All the #OldGrowthTrees, in what used to be fully forested area, were razed down. This kind of reckless profits before planet #ClearcutLogging absolutely devastates #ecosystems & it annihilates #WildlifeHabitats.

Please join the ongoing fight to #SaveOldGrowth & for #BCForestryReform. We seriously need to transition & work on #NatureFirst #WildFirst solutions for a more ethical, responsible & sustainable future.

This logging in the upper Highwood basin will unavoidably damage or destroy threatened bull trout critical habitat, their redds, & bull trout individuals, all of which is illegal under Canada's Species at Risk Act, and punishable potentially by enormous fines. That's what can be done to stop this continuing destruction of aquatic biodiversity along Alberta's East Slopes. A successful prosecution with enormous fines.

Tourists’ cars line these Rocky Mountain roads. Soon logging trucks will haul the trees away

It was supposed to be a place where competing interests could coexist. Now pressures on Kananaskis Country, just outside of Calgary, are reaching a crescendo

If they're going to clear-cut #WestBragg anyways why are we getting hit with those new provincial user fees? Isn't this protected land? We ask Devon Earl of the #AlbertaWildernessAssociation on the latest #ClimateLens.
