Clayoquot Sound to be Logged
Posted by Jeremy under: Business; Canada; Politics; Vancouver; World News; del.icio.us .
Clayoquot Sound is going to be partially opened up to logging according to today’s Globe and Mail. This is worth keeping an eye on, as Clayoquot is a beautiful place, a huge tourist attraction, and parts of it are a UN Biosphere Reserve.
Do you think logging any of Clayoquot is short-sighted? Or are today’s economic benefits more important?
More than 90,000 hectares of Clayoquot Sound — an icon of British Columbia’s wilderness and site of the largest environmental protest in Canadian history — has been opened to logging.The decision, by a planning body known as the Clayoquot Sound Central Region Board, has met with angry denunciations from environmental groups who are warning the “war in the woods” that rocked B.C. during the early 1990s could be on again.
