The Old-Growth Coastal Temperate Rainforests of British Columbia (Closed Captioned) 

The core issues are explained in this video surrounding the controversy over the logging of old-growth coastal temperate rainforests in BC, in a video produced by the Endangered Ecosystems Alliance. Be sure to SEND a MESSAGE to the BC and federal governments to protect old-growth forests at: www.endangeredecosystemsallia...

Old-growth forests are vital to sustain endangered species, First Nations cultures (whose unceded lands these are), clean water, wild salmon, carbon storage, and for tourism and recreation.
Well over 90% of the grandest old-growth forests in BC with the largest trees have been logged and time is running out fast as the industrial logging of these last old-growth stands occurs at a breakneck speed, spanning an area over 5 times the size of the city of Vancouver each year.
Most forests in BC are second-growth now, and if the BC government fostered a value-added, sustainable second-growth forest industry they could sustain forestry employment levels in BC while protecting the remaining old-growth forests.
