In the past 250 years, people have destroyed the vast majority of old-growth forests in North America, especially in Canada (much of it exported), in the pursuit of quick money.
I hope there are massive protests in British Columbia, against all of this old-growth logging nonsense, at the scale of truck protests. Protests so massive that the supposedly pro-environment NDP government of British Columbia bans this large-scale environmental destruction.
The article you linked seems to quibble on what “old growth” means. Apparently, they only consider something to be “old-growth” if it’s both old and big. According to BC government, however, a quarter of BC is old growth. And, apparently, the government was totally fine with the logging at hand. So, again, a completely normal day in Pacific Northwest.
This is incorrect. Only about 2.7% is old-growth. Source: https://thenarwhal.ca/b-c-old-growth-data-misleading-public-...
