“We need the CCPA to remind us that our dreams of a decent, egalitarian society are reasonable — indeed that with a little work, they are practical. And I love that practicality, that protection of the dream of the possible.”
— Naomi Klein
The study we released yesterday, Managing BC's Forests for a Cooler Planet, has gotten some great media coverage. Author Ben Parfitt discussed the study's recommendations at length on the Bill Good Show, along with John Allan of the Council of Forest Industries (COFI). You can listen to the show on CKNW's audiovault.
There were also articles in papers across the province today, including the Vancouver Sun and the Prince George Citizen. Meanwhile, the Globe and Mail previewed some of our findings in a feature article on the mountain pine beetle in their Saturday edition.
We're pleased about the response to the study, not only from the media but also from COFI, and hopeful that our vision for forest management will be taken up by the provincial government.
