"There will be a hearing tomorrow on this terrible piece of legislation so we need you to act TODAY! "

Act Now: Oppose the “Fix Our Forests” Act

Tell Your #Senators to Oppose the “Fix Our Forests” Act

"Congress is working to pass the misleadingly named 'Fix Our Forests' Act—a bill that will weaken protections for #wildlife, remove public oversight, mandate livestock grazing and worsen wildfire risks. The bill has passed the House and will soon head to the Senate for a vote. We need your voice now. Please send a message to your senators urging them to oppose this #AntiScience, anti-accountability legislation."

#Backroads on #DididahtTerritory.
This is part of the #SanJuanRiver & forests in the valley. The #watershed area is under ongoing #ecological threats by industrial #clearcut #logging. This is near #CarmannahWalbran #BritishColumbia provincial park.
The forests here are longtime foraging, mating & birthing grounds for the #CowichanValley Roosevelt elk herd. The San Juan is an important salmon bearing river. The old growth forests here are home to several #SpeciesAtRisk & #EndangeredSpecies.
There is ongoing eco activism work to try & protect more of the forests & #waterways in this #wilderness valley on Southern #VancouverIsland.

We need serious #ForestryReform in #BritishColumbia immediately. We need to implement the science-based recommendations from experts who were commissioned multiple times by #BCNDP #BCgovernment to produce #OldGrowth Strategic Reviews (twice during Horgan's regime). They promised to implement the recommendations but they have not done so. Our old growth forests aren't numerous anymore & yet our #capitalist driven, #neoliberal government is still allowing them to be cut. In a severe #ClimateCrisis - we're stuck with political leaders who are still siding with ecocidal corporations. We need to ban corporate lobbyists. They never have citizens' best interests at heart & our politicians are too easily bribed.

lessening its impact on forests but the company hasn't made enough progress. We need to deliver as many messages as we can before P&G's next shareholder meeting on Oct. 8.

Add your name: Charmin, Bounty and Puffs should be forest-free.

#Australia 's native forests can be most beneficial to us by being protected and being allowed to continue to grow, to store #carbon and to provide healthy #ecosystems for people and animals alike.

We call on the Treasurer to stop prolonging the inevitable. We want to see a rapid and ambitious end to native forest logging outlined in the next Statement of Corporate Intent.
