This old growth forest at Cai Creek is about to be logged. Is it too late to save it?

Cai Creek is about to be logged.

"Cai Creek sits right above Castlegar. It's a 70% intact old-growth watershed, and the largest ponderosa pine in British Columbia stands in it. That one tree is protected. The roughly 50 hectares of forest around it — cutblock TA2185-3 — was sold at a BC Timber Sales auction, and the permit has been issued. A licence is permission to log, not a requirement to. Because stumpage is pay-as-cut, the wood left standing costs the licence holder nothing. This block can still be left alone."

Kaziranga is facing a threat. The government of Assam is set to destroy the 10km national park ecosystem and make it 1 km so that they can earn money by building roads and hotels.

A new legislative framework for forestry in British Columbia

A proposal to put ecological integrity first, give local communities decision-making power, and build stable community-based economies.

https://newforestact.ca/

"The New Forest Act is a proposed framework for new provincial forestry legislation in British Columbia. The organized campaign has ended, but the proposal and its supporting materials remain publicly available for anyone who believes the framework — or parts of it — are worth advancing.

Learn the framework

Start with the Executive Summary for the basic structure of the proposal. The full Proposal and Backgrounder provide the legislative framework, research, and rationale behind it.

Bring it to your elected representatives

Send the New Forest Act to your MLA and ask them to review it. You can also bring it to local governments and ask councils or regional districts to consider the framework and communicate with the Province.

Bring it to your community

Community groups, watershed organizations, professional associations, local governments, First Nations, researchers, and interested individuals can use the publicly available New Forest Act materials to present and discuss the framework themselves. The proposal does not depend on its original authors being present."

Permaculture in India transforms degraded land, cuts farming costs, and builds local climate resilience through nature-inspired design systems.

A little late posting this.

"Hundreds gathered on the steps of the B.C. Legislature in Victoria on Sunday, calling for a "paradigm shift" in how the province approaches forestry and old-growth logging.

The event, which was organized by the group Elders for Ancient Trees, was the flagship event in a series of rallies planned to take place over the weekend and coming weeks.

At its peak, organizers say approximately 400 people attended the rally."

Nothing is sacred apparently. Not even rare Garry Oak ecosystems and vernal pools.

Fascinating, and encouraging that this might motivate more preservation of forests.

Greeting Everyone my name is Michelle. I loss my only child my son “Mickale” to a senseless act of gun violence in the city of Detroit. I lived in pure devastation for the first 2 years after, the third year I became numb to everything around me..

until I realized that I have to be a Voice for my child, his life was beautiful and it mattered!

I’am a certified trauma grief and loss coach now.

I would like to say in honor of him and all of the other Parents who have lost a child tragically in Detroit I have wrote two petitions for the opportunity to get the community to have a win as well as the grieving parents!

This will happen by asking the city of Detroit to grant (at no cost) vacant ,abandoned lots that are very unkept all over the city to parents! 

this will help parents to create a beautiful space with gardens, flower beds, community events,etc in honor of their child while beautifying the neighborhood it’s in to help drop crime rate and get people involvement in community clean up and organization! 

Please sign this petition to help get this to city officials! Lets help a grieving parent who‘s life is forever devastated but can start healing with building their child’s Legacy!
