Northern B.C. group demands action on 2020 biodiversity recommendations in Prince George
Conservation North is calling out the B.C. government and demanding action on the 2020 Forest Practices Board biodiversity recommendations for the Prince George Timber Supply Area .
The board concluded in its investigation that biodiversity is at high risk of irreversible loss due to industrial logging. Conservation North said the board’s two recommendations were that the government map and protect old growth where it is at risk of experiencing the most damage by logging and update the province’s anachronistic biodiversity requirements for the region to reflect the latest science.
“The order is widely known to have been written to protect logging company access to the amount of old forest they want, where they want it,” said Connolly.
