Love seeing signs of healthy ecosystems. Like seeing worms here in european wetlands :)

Just adding to the comments, this is a crucial message, keep it going dude🔥

Crazy how different old growth looks on the west coast compared to the east

Protect old growth and stop industrial logging

Monoculture forests are dead except for the grid-grown trees. Walking through a tree plantation is depressing. No sounds, no life.

Soil compaction from heavy equipment is often overlooked too. This can greatly impact seed germination in the seed bank. Once soil is compacted, it takes a very very long time to return to its prior state.

Logging Old Growth forests is a sin, and God is coming for the sinners. Run, sinners, run!

Mmm, Yes! *Its Not a Tree Problem, Its an Ecosystem Problem* Humanity, especially the ones with too much wealth & power seem to have forgotten that were are part if that Ecosystem. 🌎

A farking tree farm is not a forest, and it never will be. When you cut the forest down, it is lost forever.

Why are we using the word Kanaka? That is Hawaiin!

What does a Hawaiin word have to do with BC? Kanaka is a Hawaiin word...

Well its long gone now... not even sure this gentleman seen very many of them standing... what a shame

The big problem facing the environmentalists is the exclusion of "Joe Citizen" from the equation. We are all British Columbians we all succeed with healthy old growth forests. Burt excluding non natives is a mistake! I can not tell you how many times I have been told where to go by my brothers and sisters of our indigenous peoples. It is there land - Period "that is the mistake they make" It belongs to all of us! Let the elders and the indigenous manage it - but make no mistake we ALL own the land!

Why are those 2nd growth forests not managed ... Selective thinning at various stages, species diversity, and low impact harvesting would go a long way to improving the harvests, the yield, and the overall health of the forest and animals who need that eco world for sustainability. The old growth forest you showed had forestry tree stumps - so not a pristine old growth forest.

Biomass Energy needs to stop in B.C... Drax is clear cutting whole forests for biomass wood pellets. Criminal as there is a housing shortage, preventing young couples a home to raise a family in. Uk energy is not worth our future in B.C. and Canada.

Imagine if instead of stupid wars our tax payer dollars went to rewilding, conservation, and ecosystem protection type of classes. That would be free for people to attend.

Losing integrity for short-term Forestry, not very sustainable as demonstrated by the major Stand replacing fires, often Arson caused, racing through such degraded Foorest stands after Modern Forest practices, do not have the thick barked, large tree bole, higher fuel ladders, and Site resilient features of more mature Forest groves and stands. Structurally much less complex, even-aged stands have not been effective in scenarios of hotter, more severe Fires upsetting vast areas that have been clearcut, managed for short term exploitation.

thank you for this beautiful initiative. I hope we are able to reverse the ocean and air damage in time.

This is a fantastic post. Thank you so much for teaching people this information.

This is such a great informative video! Thank you for creating !!

I didn't know that Canadians are that stupid to support the logging.

OLD GROWTH like IVORY. This is how I view it. from my sailboat in SE Alaska

Keep up the fight

protect those forests at all costs!

Moss can save our planet its a powerhouse carbon neutralizer

Thank You Ken! The conscientious community we represent owes you a debt of gratitude for your unwavering stewardship of BC’s endangered ecosystems in the face of a forestry industry as ignorant and corrupt on the issue of sustainability as imaginable.

I watch a lot of Canadian outdoor adventure CZcams channels and have become really interested in the environmental issues and laws in Canada lately (I live in California). I am looking forward to exploring the videos on your channel in order to educate myself about these issues. Keep up the great work that you do to try and preserve and conserve our precious Earth! 🌎 💙

Great wisdom here. Thank you.

The old growth forest your showing isn’t old . It’s older than the first stand , but not more than 100 years old . And you can still see the stumps from when it was logged . 👍🇨🇦

We have a total ban on old growth logging

But old growth forests continue fell in nahmint valley in may this year

the government's been bought off by special interest money

I've always loved old growth forest , they are enchanting and magical , I know that sounds like tree hugging , hippie bull ---- or bleeding hart crap , but it's true . They have so much more life in them , I've never agreed with the " Sustained burn " stuff ether , it just never made sense to me , I understand the logic behind it , but I disagree , the benefits don't out weigh the cons ( total / destruction ) and it's supposed benefits are short lived . Trees help each other , by sharing stored nutrients . ( see / watch " the Mother Tree ") through mushrooms , underground connecting roots of many different plants . This takes a very long time to become efficient . And it's really interesting , is it intelligence ? Is it consciousness ? Is it " self awareness " ? Or " awareness " of another " living organism ? Anyway it's amazing ! And " Old Growth " do it best ... Reminds me of life , because it " IS " .

And most of the wood doesn't even go towards furniture or houses. It goes towards toilet paper and office paper production.😞

Keep sharing this information an don't stop please 🙏 I pass this information to everyone I can or open to listening

man kind wants progress. once olf growth trees are cut they are gone and regrowth is different. they have a long life like californis redwoods and look at the mess in the amazon rain forests.

Now to get a few billion to rainforest protectors as well.

Fantastic, great to hear. In all the known universe life is extraordinarily rare, yet we're privileged to have it stunningly in great diversity right before us. How so few people seem to take interest in it or care to value it, or absurdly go so far as to destroy most of it, still beyond my reason. Poverty stricken life and desperation i guess. 20,000 known edible plants at least and most all people rarely can understand enough to use more than 150.

This was exactly my thought... "where and which ecosystems are they going to commit this funding?"

good work everyone!

thanks for showing us!

That's so interesting, thank you!

If I was asked to find a new species, the first place I would look is in the canopy soil of an old growth big leaf maple.

Huh I never knew what Burr oaks were thanks for that.

Thank you, Premier Eby.

Sure, remaining old growth should be protected. But the implication that 2nd growth forests are always barren of biodiversity is grossly exaggerated. First, in much of North America, the 2nd growth isn't a "plantation"- as the forests can regrow all by themselves with a diversity of species. And, even if they are plantations- often they are thinned after a few decades allowing light to reach the ground, allowing ground vegetation. Anyone who likes wood products, like wood in your home, wood in your furniture, and paper products ought to learn to like excellent forestry. And I don't mean most forestry is excellent because that's not true. But rather than attempting to stop all or most forestry, it's smarter to improve all forestry. I've been a forester for exactly 50 years so I can speak from experience.

Seems like this tree creates an ecosystem of its own. This is now one of my favorite trees. Thank you

Thank you Ken for such a clear, concise explanation of the most critical element of Conservation Financing.

I never even thought of representation of different ecosystems! Thank you for talking about this. :)
