REVELSTOKE, B.C. — Thousands of hectares of old growth north of Revelstoke will soon be destroyed by industrial logging, threatening almost all of BC’s remaining southernmost mountain caribou herds, according to Wildsight, Stand.earth and Wilderness Committee. The research, conducted using provincial data, reveals that 5,713 hectares of old growth are either approved or pending approval for logging across the ranges of the Columbia North, Groundhog and Wells Gray South herds. …Wildsight recently documented ancient western red cedars being actively felled in core habitat for the Columbia North caribou herd east of Mica Dam. ..The trio of environmental groups is urging the province to stop approved logging and withhold pending permits for new logging in the ranges of these three herds, and immediately protect critical southern mountain caribou habitat. …A handful of companies are having a disproportionate impact… including West Fraser, Interfor, and Canoe Forest Products.
