@CatherineBabault@mastodon.social “Once an old-growth forest is logged, it will require millennia before it has the structure, composition and function of the forest that was logged” So let’s call it what it is: forest mining. Strip-mining vast swaths of land for a resource that cannot be replaced. Forestry flies under the public radar sheltered by the fiction that forests are renewable resources. They are not.

@CatherineBabault@mastodon.social I support this ongoing battle against old growth logging in BC & am a veteran with old growth resistance camps. I don't support most of the people in this one. I know them.

@CatherineBabault@mastodon.social Old growth takes many decades to recover, if ever. "New growth" replacement may be less profitable and more prone to wildfire. The moral is : leave it alone!

@CatherineBabault@mastodon.social That really is a tragedy.

@CatherineBabault@mastodon.social government and corporations know the price of everything and the value of nothing. I will never understand why so many men take pride in destroying what is rare and beautiful.

@CatherineBabault@mastodon.social This drives me crazy because if old growth forest continues to be logged, it's going to be gone forever + the jobs would still be lost. Or we would lose the jobs now, have time to retrain, and we keep the old growth forest!

@CatherineBabault@mastodon.social Logging in Canada took about 150,000 hectares over the last three years, and Carbon fueled climate change took 30 million hectares. One year of catastrophic climate wildfires took more than a hundred years of logging trees. Almost all of them are old growth, because most of the burns are whithout roads. The heat that has made world forests into kindling, also killed 20,000 people in Europe in June. Maybe visit. http://ciffc.net #climate #wildfires
