logging

Canada’s forests are being logged faster than they can regrow and that's adding billions of tonnes of CO2 into atmosphere.

The worsening effects of climate change are compounding the historical loss of British Columbia’s old-growth forests, says the co-author of a new paper that shows decades of logging on the province’s central coast targeted the highest-value forests first.

B.C.’s old-growth forests are still in jeopardy despite the province’s pledge to work with Indigenous nations to temporarily ban logging in specific areas, a new report by Stand.earth finds.

This year was the first tree-planting season where B.C. made it mandatory to plant ones adapted to slightly warmer climates.

The cat-sized nocturnal marsupials, which are unique to Australia, live in areas from north Queensland to central Victoria.

The great forests of B.C. were a source of unlimited wealth. We are now reaching the limits of available supply.

The group found an ample amount of rare lichen among the trees slated for logging, requiring enough buffer zones to make over half of the area protected.

The B.C. government has promised to save old-growth, yet giant 1,000-year-old trees continued to be cut down. “Talk and log,” an adage coined in the 1990s, returned to popular use and cynicism was everywhere.

The old-growth forests of B.C. are the cooling systems, air filters and oxygen supply for Vancouver Island and the mainland. So why are governments still allowing ancient trees to be felled?

A process is underway in British Columbia to temporarily defer logging in priority old-growth forests, allowing time for the government to work with First Nations to decide how they should be managed in the long term.

Canada's forests are being logged faster than they are growing back, writes columnist Barry Saxifrage. That's pouring billions of tonnes of CO2 into our rapidly destabilizing climate.

The province’s Department of Natural Resources and Renewables announced the decision Monday, citing the species’ precarious state as the reason for an indefinite hold on logging plans near Minamkeak Lake that include three sections of Crown land.

A new caribou conservation agreement between the federal government and Ontario fails to protect habitat critical to both the iconic creatures and the climate fight, environmental groups say.

Last week, the federal government announced Canada’s 2020 greenhouse gas emissions dropped, in part thanks to trees removing carbon from the atmosphere. However, environmentalists are quick to point out this calculation excludes a huge chunk of emissions from the logging industry.

Nova Scotians have until April 23 to provide feedback on the Crown land cutblock.
