Here's a new video by the EEA's Executive Director Ken Wu on a BC Old-Growth Policy Update **Note: it was filmed before the new forest policy progress announcements by Premier Eby a couple days ago, which we have included in the write-up below. Please watch and SEND a MESSAGE to the BC and federal governments asking them to keep moving forward at: https://www.endangeredecosystemsalliance.org/news/bc-needs-an-effective-federal-provincial-nature-agreement
The short summary: The new BC Premier David Eby is undertaking major and much needed policy overhauls to develop the framework and funding that will enable a massive expansion of protected areas in BC shortly, via First Nations initiatives (***NOTE: in BC, the province legally cannot unilaterally establish protected areas and "just protect the old-growth" - the support of local First Nations governments is a legal necessity in their unceded territories. Old-growth logging deferrals and protected areas move at the speed of local First Nations - the government's policies and framework can facilitate or hinder, help speed up or slow down, the abilities of First Nations to protect ecosystems, if they choose. This is a vital fact to understand for conservation and old-growth advocates).
