Listen "Manufacturing Consent for Logging"
Episode Synopsis
In part 2 of our conversation with Conservation North, Michelle Connolly gives us a lesson in forest ecology and forestry semantics. How does British Columbia and the forestry industry use seemingly ‘green’ language to justify more logging of the province’s natural forests? Who is forestry sustainable for? The planet? The species? Or the companies? We also get a sneak peek into Conservation North’s new report on U.K. biofuel producer Drax, and how they’re continuing to source materials from rare old growth forests.Learn more about Conservation North on their website and read the report they co-authored, Logging What's Left.Make sure to check out the show notes on the podcast webpage for more links and helpful resources.You can help this community grow by sharing the podcast with your friends.Support the showhttps://wildlandsleague.org/theclearcut/
