This Earth Day, AFA and EEA are issuing a strong warning to the BC government about potential commercial logging in protected areas and calling on it to refocus on incomplete measures to protect old-growth forests, implement its draft Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health Framework, and ensure a transition to a sustainable, value-added second-growth forest industry.

To truly safeguard biodiversity, BC needs “Ecosystem-Based Protection Targets” for every ecosystem type—rainforests, grasslands, dry forests, wetlands, etc.—on a scale large enough to ensure their long-term health and stability.
