PAOV – There's a new petition taking off on Change.org, and we think you might be interested in signing it.

Cette pétition prend de l'ampleur sur Change.org, souhaitez-vous la signer? Elle demande que cesse l'exploitation de la forêt ancienne de la Colombie-Britannique, qui est pourtant située juste à côté de plusieurs autres forêts normales qui pourraient être visées par l'industrie forestière.


BC Premier: Christy Clark: Stop the logging of BC's Old Growth Forest

Brandon Leitch
North Vancouver, British Columbia Sign Brandon's petition

British Columbia is world renowned for its scenery, beauty, and magnificent old growth rainforest which happens to be home for trees that are hundreds of years old.

Recently, the BC Government let a logging company known as Teal Jones set up cut blocks in the Walbran Valley on Vancouver Island. The cut blocks are set in one of the last decent stands of old growth forest in British Columbia. BC's landmass is 70% forest, and the old growth doesn't take up much of that percentage.

I'm baffled as to why they're logging the old growth as their are TONS of other area's nearby that aren't old growth rainforest, where they could've set up logging operations instead. We don't have much old growth left, and as a proud British Columbian, I'm not willing to lose one of our greatest natural wonders.

What needs to be done:

  • Create legislation that protects all the Old Growth Forest in British Columbia
  • Make it so logging companies MUST replant trees of the same species that were logged in any area that is clear cut
  • Have limits on how much land is allowed to be clear cut in a logging area

This petition has gained a ton of momentum, and I invite not just British Columbians, but everyone who cares about the environment to join me and be a part of history.
