Save Clayoquot Sound - protect the old-growth temperate rainforest on Vancouver Island

The wave of environmental protests to protect the old-growth temperate rainforest in Clayoquot Sound on Vancouver Island started in 1985 with the blockade on Meares Island by the Tlaoquiaht and Ahousaht First Nations and local conservationists. The protests reached their peak 25 years ago in the summer of 1993 when 12,000 people took part in the blockades by Kennedy Lake, resulting in the arrest of almost 900 people that summer - the largest act of civil disobedience in Canadian history. But the job is not done: Clayoquot Sound is still not saved and the large-scale industrial logging of old-growth forests continues across large parts of the province. Meanwhile, the vast export of old-growth and second-growth raw logs to foreign mills erodes BC forestry employment opportunities. It's time for the new NDP government of BC to finally protect BC's endangered old-growth forests and ensure a value-added, second-growth forest industry.
