不列颠哥伦比亚省前小组成员说,在受保护的老增长地区,伐木活动仍在继续,对生态系统和土著社区构成威胁。 Former BC panel members say logging continues in protected old-growth areas, threatening ecosystems and Indigenous communities.

不列颠哥伦比亚省一个2021年小组的五名前成员绘制了260万公顷高风险旧林的地图,称尽管临时推迟伐木,但该省未能保护他们。 Five former members of a 2021 British Columbia panel that mapped 2.6 million hectares of high-risk old-growth forests say the province is failing to protect them despite interim logging deferrals. 他们报告说,专家小组确定的关键地区正在伐木,包括纳明特湖附近和温哥华岛东北部,破坏养护工作。 They report ongoing logging in areas the panel identified as critical, including near Nahmint Lake and on northeastern Vancouver Island, undermining conservation efforts. 小组警告说,如果没有养护筹资、长期计划和省级问责制,持续伐木会威胁生物多样性、生态系统稳定和森林部门的未来,同时对第一民族造成不当压力。 The panel warns that without conservation financing, long-term plans, and provincial accountability, continued logging threatens biodiversity, ecosystem stability, and the future of the forest sector, while placing undue pressure on First Nations.
