Another excellent article on the hydrological effects of clearcut logging. Be sure to take the time to watch the video featuring UBC forest hydrologist Younis Alila. Alila and his colleagues have transformed the way we analyze logging impacts on floods, drought, mass wasting, and sediment delivery to streams from logging operations.

#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.

"I want to take a moment, pan back, make sure we record the win & congratulate you both on this work. I think it's important to talk about how that happened & how we can try to reproduce what created a logging slowdown from a company that whose raison d'etre is logging."

"How about 'No new stuff if it needs to be powered by the old stuff that's killing us all?' With #RenewableEnergy breaking new records every day how on earth can the most advanced tech the world has ever seen rely on the deadliest energy available to us?" #WhereAreTheAdults

Does it make a lick of sense to cut down #OldGrowthForests during the #Climate era, given the whole world is racing to PLANT TREES and the important role they play in CO2 sequestration and the mitigation of floods and droughts?

Of course it doesn't.

"It shows it can be done & that when enough people are involved & really care about an issue it's effective. It's doing the same thing on the other issues that are important in this region. Doing better with #ForestManagement is a big one we're trying to really highlight NOW."

"We can do that. And we have the framework, we have the legislation in place to do that. It's really a matter of having the political will to make that happen. And ultimately that has to come from public pressure on these issues."

"What's the impact of that oil well, that coal mine and that cut block and all the others that are already on the landscape and all of the other pressures that are there. That's the cumulative effects, the impacts that we desperately need to manage. And we can do that."

"95% of Southern Alberta's water comes from the #EasternSlopes. In the 1870s we knew if we developed in those areas we impact our water supply. Not just Alberta but Saskatchewan, #Manitoba, to #HudsonsBay, & down to the Mississippi Delta. We have a big responsibility in Alberta."

"We went to the communities most impacted by the #Highwood. I was very grateful to get to speak with Mayor @mayorsnod who signed on immediately with the call to halt #EasternSlopes logging, understanding the implications of what #ClearCutLogging means for the area."

"That's why we've been making a big effort to fundraise & get experts who can get out in the field and actually get a really good idea of where these #BullTrout populations are, how large they are & what the impacts to the watershed could be if the cut goes ahead."
