Cape Scott Logging on World Rainforest Day
It is World Rainforest Day and it is time to take action! Today Pacific Wild is voicing concerns about recent clearcutting of old-growth forests near Cape Scott Provincial Park, a beautiful, wildlife-rich area.
In March, Pacific Wild co-founder and conservation advisor, Ian McAllister, discovered the clearcuts while out in the field by following a new logging road on the northern end of Vancouver Island. The extent of the logging was shocking, including ancient trees facing the park. The entire mountain along a creek had been cleared, revealing numerous stumps of monumental red and yellow cedars, some over 1,000 years old.
Although the logging occurred outside the park boundaries and was legally sanctioned, the loss of more ancient forests is keenly felt. Pacific Wild applauds the recent efforts to protect old-growth forests, including the permanent protection of 76,000 hectares in Clayoquot Sound, but maintains that all remaining old-growth forests should be protected from clear cut logging for their rarity and ecological significance.
Canadaâs magnificent coastal temperate rainforests have been devastated by industry for years and are not only globally rare, covering less than 1% of the earthâs surface but rare in British Columbia too. Less than less than 1% of British Columbiaâs forests are âhighly productive old growth,â in other words, the giant, iconic ancient trees that this coast is famous for, and those old groves on Vancouver Island have already been reduced by more than 75%.
Premier Eby has the chance to leave a legacy of protection.

F8ck yes to this. đ
The problem with democracy and freedom is that most people are IDIOTS who think this is ok. Its really sad that we will all fry because of it. There is no hope for humanity đđą
that was disgusting.
Greed! There is absolutely a way of sustainable logging....the greed for the forbidden fruit will always be the human nature! Very sad but very true words!
Wow! Excellent.
Preach it, Bill!
There are articles stating that they are white men shitting in indigenous culture. Your culture should not dictate violence. I do not eat animals and consume any animal products. Itâs not cos Iâm white, itâs because I believe in the ethics. The whole âyouâre ruining the cultureâ is such a weak argument
Oh and now the naitives are all whining about this. THEY dont give a crap, they take money just like anyone else. The so called stewards of the land running open net fish farms. Hypocrites of the worst kind. Dont buy into the "stewards of the land" BS. They also paved over 100s of acres of prime delta farm land to build a MEGA mall no one wanted or uses. IF you wave money infront of people everything is for sale. DONT BUY INTO THE CON.
i love it đ„
So disrespectful of all the first nations people.
It's the baby giving the finger for me đđđ đ
What about the Old Growth in the Provincial Park you walked through, Federal Parks, Old Growth Management Areas, Wildlife Habitat Areas, Ungulate Winter Ranges, Riparian Reserves, Marbled Murrelet Land Order polygons.
Clear cutting is adding to the world wide climate emergency. Increasing the risk of forest fires that put parks at risk. A small chunk of forest wil not survive if the land all around it has been turned into dry barron wasteland.
The destruction of old growth must end!
It's time to stop being nice about salmon farms! Thanks William! Lets make the elected leaders put a hard end date on these destructive farms.
Who even eats farmed salmon ... đ€źđ€ąđ©
right? I never buy that mushy shit. Its garbage.
We can always stop ordering it as well no demand is good
I love salmon but I won't buy or order farmed. Wild is getting harder to find but if I can't find it, I go without.
Well done!!
FâŠing Awesome!!!!

Amazingly great ad ,
What the natives do to the salmon population is disgusting. They try to convince you they are one with the world while doing some of the most damage.
Does it hurt to be this stupid?
If you don't like this f*@k off! And Suck it up! This is what the rest of us are thinking.
If you find this offensive then suck it up. That's the problem today is everyone is as soft as sponge. It's words. Hasen't anyone ever heard the saying sticks and stones brake bones but names don't hurt you. If someone's opinion bothers you then don't listen. The world is full of a bunch of whiney sucks!
The naitives who run some of these farms are sure offended. Cause they are hypocrites.
So uninformed. Overpaid shills.
Im neither here or there for fish đ something or other... paused after he said something about being canadian Yadda... STOP. The pitch burned the message in hand when he tried to relate as canadian as if we were connected somehow because 75 odd years ago, his mother pushed him out in Montreal. Everything about him and his life is American.. if the dollars paid for him to pretend, he gives a donkey red hot pokered behind of whatever he's blabbing about, then it would have been donated time. With that even being donated time, I wouldn't listen to someone jibber on about canadian this, and that from someone who should stick to red white and blue problems like borders of texas.. as he lives within, married women from, space traveled by, and core beliefs are American. Overly famous under talented sprout as of late from Canada. Shatner, Bieber, Trudeau, and not a single one of them could give a rats rear cheeks. Desperately needing to stay relevant for more holes on the fairway is what this waste of streaming data is.
It was only today I learned that they used to have an "8 year" returning King Salmon in the Columbia River. We have really really messed with our boat haven't we?
Right On Bill đ
This disgusts me. Nobody has a right to tell First Nations what to do in their territories. They depend on these fish farms for jobs and income. Rich, white people who have no education about what Fish Farms actually do should have no say in what actually happens. A lot of information out there is incorrect. Science is proving DFO wrong. There are many factors in which the wild salmon are collapsing and to say itâs due to fish farms is wrong. Over fishing and sports fishing and global warming are also a big part of it. DFO has mis managed on a criminal level! Each First Nations Community is unique and they only worry about their territory. If one group wants them out then thatâs fine. Nobody can tell them what to do in their territories. They are unseated . Taking the fish farms out of our territory will destroy any advances they are trying to make for their people, since the government isnât helping them through reconciliation . They have successfully stewarded their lands for thousands of years. The government is take , take , take until the last is gone. Itâs all about money.
There is a better way, enclosed ocean pens, runways on land, able to retain (remove) all poop & excess food, (a usable product) moving and harvesting the fish stock easily and without stressing or touching them, no salmon sea lice, or high density fish population producing sea lice infestations for natural wild stocks to battle, all is possible now. The inhibiting factor until now was the cost of the energy to move the fluid mass, this is now possible, scalable from 100 gallons per minute, to what ever flow rate is needed, at a fraction of energy cost to do so! Sadly the present open farming practices, creates more problems, are not mandated to clean up the environment, biological pollution, ocean floor pollution and invasive species invasion by pen failures. It is possible to have a clean and a sustainable salmon industry. Just need to do it. Thank you William Shatner for speaking up.
Or you know, Just do it landbased like Hawaii has been doing aquaculture for decades. WHY risk the oceans.... They are messed up enough already. They die. We die.
Haha, know for a fact that this ad wasnt even made in Canada. They didnt even bother to ship old Bill back for a one day job... Maybe when he and Ryan and heck, even Neil Young, all move back to Canada and start paying taxes here again... then maybe, just maybe, they can suggest what we should do.
This is a Global Issue!!
Fine. I live and pay taxes here and I want to see this industry shut down.
Let the Herring Live ! They are a key species in the food chain between algae, plankton and forage fish, they feed all other fish.
funny...thought this guy died years ago.
Surprise - he's back from the grave, and he's as mad as Hell!
Nope, he's 93 and still going strong. Actually, he took a flight into space in 2022.
Fish Farming is being banned for political reasons, and not scientific reasons. Glad itâs not my livelihood affected this time by the misinformed.
Do your homework Sea lice from Atlantic Salmon is killing the wild Pacific stock. Washington State has already put a total ban on open pen farms. Stop your trolling and do some research.
@@melodieboese9137 Nah, it's about who has better lobbying. I wonder who paid for this ad?
Go Fishing. Actual Fishing?!?!
Swore where no man has sworn before.
How did you get William Shatner to make this?
It's called 'getting paid'...
đđđđ ok Kirk believe in woke lies, funny how being woke doesn't make you awake to see the bs around you, a 93 y/o who has no plan like Poilievre to fix anything yet again, god clowns will always be clowns
You get the gov't you deserve. Only people to blame for open pen farms are the canadians who keep voting in the same old parties.
đđđ and you think Poilievre is going to fix that as you'd be clowning if you believe he'll fix anything as the clown has no plan except cut whatever tax he wants which doesn't work like that useless clowns
I didn't vote for Trudeau. I already knew he was gonna be a disaster.
Especially f*** off those who want an apology for getting called out endangering salmon. No apologizes for being mad about species genocide. You are better than this, but f*** off until you start acting like it
I lived with a fishing family in BC as a teenager in the 1970's. They knew then what is known now, that if you introduce fish from one ocean into another, you will decimate the stock in that ocean. This is what Atlantic salmon fish pen farming in Pacific waters has done to to our wild salmon stock. It needs to be stopped now, not 5 years from now.
If that were true, salmon farm fishing would be banned immediately. Unfortunately there needs to be evidence, and not just a hunch for blaming fish farming.
@@Niko-iv4ch I worked at age 15 for 2 years at Richmond Cannery and was a member of the UFAWU. I saw and heard alot during that time, including damn near every west coast fisherman angry about what the Federal Dept of Fisheries was going to allow. They knew and rightly so, that allowing Atlantic Salmon into Pacific waters would decimate wild salmon stock. I lived though those times, you haven't, so don't tell me that what I'm saying is or was a hunch.
ââ@@melodieboese9137oh, well if a 15 year old, heard stories from some guys who's extensive education landed them the esteemed and hard won role of, Fishing Boat Crewman how could anybody argue with such a thoroughly substantiated position . You told him lol đ I'm just being a dick, I don't know or, honestly give a shit what percentage of the damage any one practice is causing, if we keep going as we are it won't matter anyway, the salmon will more than likely be fine once we wipe ourselves out.
â@@Niko-iv4chnever under-estimated Greed. We know introducing foreign species into another ecosystem is not a good thing. If you want to protect a fishes species you attempt to regulate to reduce over fishing.
