Premier John Horgan take urgent action to protect the last old growth forests in British Columbia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfyEYE650t8The World is Watching: Protect Old Growth Forests in B.C. https://www.straight.com/news/ben-barclay-will-fairy-creek-become-a-turning-point-in-human-history We’ve been working with allies in both the Amazon and British Columbia to protect forests that – aside from being critical, climate change mitigating carbon sinks – are home to Indigenous communities, endangered wildlife, and trees that have stood for millenia. And thanks to members of the Stand.earth community we’re winning real victories. In the Amazon, our cutting-edge research gained international news coverage [6] and we successfully got commitments from 5 of the top 6 banks involved in the trade of oil from the Amazon Sacred Headwaters to end financing oil from the region (representing over $9 billion USD / 140 million barrels of oil over the last decade). That’s not something that happens everyday.We’re doubling down on this highly effective public pressure tactic, and recently worked with Amazon Watch to release another bombshell report that highlights how 14 major banks are funding the destruction of the Amazon.
