Real vs Fake Protected Areas

BC is looking at potentially creating a weak or "fake protected area" designation that may allow commercial logging inside its boundaries.
In contrast, Provincial Conservancies and several PA (Protected Area) designations keep out commercial logging, mining, and oil and gas, and are congruent with First Nations subsistence and cultural use of landscapes (hunting, fishing, foraging, cutting individual cedars for cultural uses in the community like dugout canoes and totem poles), co-management authority and rights and title - these are the designations that should be used going forward.
In addition, existing loopholes that allow boundary shifts in Old-Growth Management Areas due to timber industry lobbying and logging in some types of Wildlife Habitat Areas need to be closed ASAP.
