Episode Details

British Columbia Ministry of Forests approved logging in critical southern mountain caribou habitat, despite warnings from other ministries. The logging near Quesnel Lake, home to a small herd of under 200 caribou, is concerning residents like Mike James. A memo from last year highlighted the risks of fragmenting habitat and reducing food sources. Conservation groups claim logging has already started, and the Ministry of Forests is ignoring advice to protect species at risk. West Fraser, the logging company, wont apply for a permit in one assessed area, but residents demand a permanent halt to logging in caribou habitat to give these animals a chance to recover.
