CBC News coverage on 18-month old-growth report card
/in News CoverageRead the CBC News article highlighting our report card with Sierra Club BC and Wilderness Committee that evaluates the BC government’s progress on promised implementation of the Old Growth Strategic Review panel’s recommendations.
We note significant improvements in funding and transparency but emphasize that the provincial government is still moving far too slowly. Essential funding for old-growth conservation still falls short of the estimated $300 million needed from the province to support First Nations communities alone.
Of special note, the province has now stated they are in talks with the federal government to partner on the expansion of protected areas in BC, and will soon have an update on the status of old-growth deferrals.
These encouraging statements will need to be backed by concrete actions in order for the province to score better on its next report card in September.

Recreational Canoeing Association of BC Signs Resolution in Support of Old-Growth Protection
/in AnnouncementsWe’re pleased to announce the Recreational Canoeing Association of BC (RCABC), representing 400 members, has signed a resolution in support of old-growth forest protection!
By signing this resolution, RCABC is calling on the BC government to support First Nations to protect at-risk old-growth forests while ensuring sustainable economic development and enabling the shift to a second-growth forest industry.
Old-growth forests offer an unparalleled outdoor recreation experience and are an important part of BC’s appeal as a unique tourist destination. As long as ancient forests remain unprotected and vulnerable to logging, communities, tourists, and British Columbians stand to lose these incredible ecosystems and a sustainable way to enjoy them. If you or someone you know is a part of an outdoor recreation group, or another organization that benefits from the protection of old-growth forests, please join our network of non-traditional allies to call on the BC government to take the necessary steps to ensure the protection of old-growth forests while supporting First Nations and forestry-dependent communities.
