I support a Sustainable Forest Industry.
The rules for protecting the environment and species at risk are too inflexible and are putting forestry operations at risk. We need to give loggers, their families & the communities they live in, equal right to survival.
Much of the rules are based on fear not fact - the environment and the animals in the forest are very resilient and have survived a century of harvesting cycles - even when logging was not sustainably managed as it is today.
Sustainable forestry can actually enhance the habitat of many species. Naturally occurring disturbances (fire, insect, blowdown, etc) do not.
