CBC: Panel Appointed to Map B.C.’s Old-Growth Forests Say Province Is Failing to Save Them
Every member of a former panel the BC government appointed to identify old-growth for potential protection in 2021 now says they're concerned about continued logging in those same rare and "irreplaceable" forests.

Union of BC Indian Chiefs passes old-growth forest resolution
/in AnnouncementsExciting news! The Union of BC Indian Chiefs (UBCIC) has passed a resolution calling on the BC Government to work with First Nations to protect old-growth forests while engaging and supporting Indigenous communities.
The resolution, passed last month at the UBCIC AGM, follows the BC government’s Sept 11 release of a report by an independent panel tasked with reviewing BC’s forest policies. The panel’s report contains 14 recommendations that form a blueprint for a new BC forest regime that is centred on Indigenous involvement and puts ecosystem health ahead of timber values.
In the resolution, the UBCIC Chiefs-in-Assembly call on the province to implement all 14 of the panel’s recommendations and to expand logging deferrals to encompass “all threatened old-growth forests” in consultation with First Nations.
They also call for funding to support First Nations-led land-use plans, Indigenous Protected Area management, private land purchase, and conservation economies.

/in Take ActionAncient Forest Enthusiast Cycles Across BC to Jasper
/in Thank YouWe’re extremely grateful and inspired by those who use their passions to help build the ancient forest movement! During September, big tree enthusiast and bicyclist, Michael, embarked on a cross-province cycling trip from BC to Jasper to raise awareness for the AFA and BC’s ancient forests. Michael also cycled in Mexico recently where he followed migrating animals like gray whales, vultures, and monarch butterflies. In his latest venture, he showed his support for BC’s old-growth forests and the many species and communities that depend on them.
Thank you, Michael! To learn more and to support the journey, check out his website: https://michaelrsuds.wixsite.com/mikebikesacrossbc
