Shame on the government of B.C. and shame on those destroying the land!
The clear-cuts are massive again on Vancouver Island...mostly second or third growth...small trees, barely big enough for anything, are being mowed down like grass right now.
While people are fighting for the last remaining 1% left of old growth, the green forest cover that attempted to heal the clear-cuts left after logging over the past 50 years is disappearing faster than one can blink an eye. It is shocking what the ministry of deforestation is allowing in the face of climate change...barren mountainsides heating up in the summer sun. It is a recipe for disaster with potential fire hazards building and the remaining diminishing forest cover drying out. The secondary forest that is still present looks like it is stressed and dying. Arbutus and evergreens are turning brown with dead and dying leaves and needles withering.
Logging in Clayoquot 2020
Is climate disaster...or concern for our future and that of living beings all around us of no consequence or importance?
We are in trouble...still logging like there is no tomorrow and maybe there won't be at this rate. Government is ignorant in the face of all the information while industry just keeps pushing it. Many species are becoming scarce and food supplies keep going up in price as the green keeps disappearing and the Earth becomes less resilient. Our Earth should be lush and green and it still is in a few places where people have made efforts to protect and maintain a balance or at least let it be, but we are at a tipping point and it won't take much to make a very serious situation where what little is left isn't enough to sustain itself. Then beware, for everyone and everything will suffer. Let's hope we don't go there, it is a very, very serious concern.
Is Nothing Sacred????
