Provincial Old-Growth Protection Strategy
The Ancient Forest Alliance is calling for the provincial government to establish a BC Old-Growth Protection Strategy that would ensure comprehensive, legislated protection for BC’s ancient forests on public/Crown lands. The science-based plan would incorporate timelines to immediately end old-growth logging in “critically endangered” forests, and quickly phase out old-growth logging where there is a “high risk” to biological diversity and ecosystem integrity.
Provincial Land Acquisition Fund
A Provincial Land Acquisition Fund will allow for purchasing and protecting BC’s most endangered ecosystems on private lands to sustain wildlife, clean water, recreation, and tourism. Many of BC’s most endangered and biologically rich ecosystems, including ancient forests, are found on private lands, which make up 5% of BC’s land base—Coastal Douglas-fir and Dry Maritime forests on BC’s southern coast; Ponderosa Pine forests; and more.
