Who are Nova Scotia's forests to benefit?
Only humans?
If so, which humans? The ones that want to recreate in large stretches of old forest, or just know that they exist? Or are they to benefit the few from cutting those same forests down?
If our forests are also for the many other things that live in this special ecosystem, which other living things? How about the endangered mainland moose?
Will we save enough for them to continue in perpetuity?
If not, which species are we willing to let go extinct so that some humans can benefit from taking their homes?
"Members of Extinction Rebellion and other concerned citizens were served an injunction Dec. 11 against blocking access to Crown land in Digby County designated for logging by the provincial Lands and Forestry Department.
The Extinction Rebellion-led group had set up the blockades nearly two months earlier as a protest against clearcutting and an effort to draw attention to Lands and Forestry’s failure to uphold the provincial Endangered Species Act and to protect the mainland moose habitat."
