We need serious #ForestryReform in #BritishColumbia immediately. We need to implement the science-based recommendations from experts who were commissioned multiple times by #BCNDP #BCgovernment to produce #OldGrowth Strategic Reviews (twice during Horgan's regime). They promised to implement the recommendations but they have not done so. Our old growth forests aren't numerous anymore & yet our #capitalist driven, #neoliberal government is still allowing them to be cut. In a severe #ClimateCrisis - we're stuck with political leaders who are still siding with ecocidal corporations. We need to ban corporate lobbyists. They never have citizens' best interests at heart & our politicians are too easily bribed.
@PhoenixSerenity Hi.... Are you familiar with an area of BC Wilderness.... Stein Valley?
I have heard of an effort to protect it by its First Nations inhabitants.... This was somewhile back....
Pemberton, BC area.... I believe
@LivingLightlyonEarth Yes, familiar & had activist friends who joined that battle too. There's several different battles to save old growth tracts in BC on Vancouver Island, surrounding islands & through the mainland interior.
@PhoenixSerenity I'm researching the Stein activism
Can you pass my contact info along to a good information source?
@LivingLightlyonEarth
I highly recommend getting in touch with Indigenous folks who are part of the Stein Nahatlatch Initiative:

Have you been in contact with Wilderness Committee yet?

"This is a 1988 Wilderness Committee education report about the ongoing fight to save the Stein Valley from a BC Forest Products (BCFP) logging plan. This report describes the Stein Valley hiking trail and the release of thousands of free copies of a poster entitled - Joy to the World - that featured a photograph of the Stein Valley.
In 1995 the entire Stein Valley was protected from logging with the establishment of the Stein Valley Nlaka’pamux Heritage Park"
