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.
Canada’s magnificent coastal temperate rainforests have been devastated by industry for years and are not only globally rare, covering less than 1% of the earth’s surface but rare in British Columbia too. Less than less than 1% of British Columbia’s forests are “highly productive old growth,” 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%.

    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 it’s 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 that’s 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 isn’t 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. It’s 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.
