Protesters Block Logging in British Columbia to Protect Old Growth Forests
In British Columbia, activists are blocking logging roads to prevent the cutting of old-growth forests on Vancouver Island. These forests, some of the rarest ecosystems on Earth, are under threat from logging activities. The protesters, including First Nations elders, are camping out to stop logging trucks, highlighting the ongoing conflict over land use and conservation. The province claims to have deferred or protected millions of hectares of old growth, but critics argue these measures are temporary. The logging industry remains a significant economic driver, complicating efforts to protect these ancient forests.
