B.C. plans to log old-growth forest, threatening endangered southern mountain caribou habitat, despite commitments to conserve these forests, warns a new report. The report, from three B.C. conservation groups — Wildsight, Stand.earth, and the Wilderness Committee — uses provincial satellite data to show that 57 square kilometres of old-growth forests are either approved or pending approval for logging in the ranges of three endangered caribou herds: the Columbia North, Groundhog and Wells Gray South herds. …For the report, the researchers used Forest Eye alerts — Stand.earth’s remote sensing systems developed two years ago that detect an unseasonal drop in forest cover using satellite monitoring. This showed old growth logging across the endangered herds as recently as May. …In an emailed statement Friday, Forests Minister Ravi Parmar said the government is performing a balancing act between conservation and forestry.
