LETTER: Time to stop old-growth logging

It is so exciting to see that a few courageous selfless caring individuals have established a blockade camp to stop Teal Jones from making a logging road up into the headwaters of Fairy Creek. These forest protectors know the value of the dwindling old-growth ecosystems B次元官网网址 a priceless historical national treasure B次元官网网址 something which the NDP government continues to ignore, sidestep while in fact permitting and encouraging continued old-growth logging.

It is so exciting to see that a few courageous selfless caring individuals have established a blockade camp to stop Teal Jones from making a logging road up into the headwaters of Fairy Creek. These forest protectors know the value of the dwindling old-growth ecosystems B次元官网网址 a priceless historical national treasure B次元官网网址 something which the NDP government continues to ignore, sidestep while in fact permitting and encouraging continued old-growth logging.

Despite my MLA, Carole James, stating in a letter to me that she B次元官网网址渃ares deeplyB次元官网网址 about this issue (saving old-growth forest ecosystems), she has not agreed to call for a moratorium on all old-growth logging. The NDP government feels it needs to find a B次元官网网址渟cience-based approachB次元官网网址 for the B次元官网网址渟olutionB次元官网网址 to this problem.

The current science is abundant. Is the solution not obvious? Stop the logging of all old growth forest ecosystems.
