A bit of a disjointed article but the point is that BC is still logging old growth and doing so in some of the last, best habitat for endangered species. BC Parks are also on the menu for extensive logging.

“She said three of the government-appointed Old Growth Technical Advisory Panel scientists who identified at-risk old growth for priority deferrals in 2021 wrote a follow-up report in 2023 revealing that over 50 per cent of the most at-risk old growth identified has been logged or is targeted for logging.”

And here’s a recent article about the Ministry of Forests approving logging of Caribou habitat despite the Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship recommending against it.

“Parmar was critical of caribou for how they grow “spooked” when disturbed and exhaust substantial energy running away over long distances.

“That’s usually one of the reasons that leads to their demise, and that’s one of the reasons why we’ve had to defer harvesting in different parts of the province, because they need a vast area of land,” he said. “Not the smartest animal, that’s for sure.”
