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.
The CCPA Monitor is the only place I know that one can go to for accurate and honest reporting on the state of the world. I would hate like hell to ever be without The CCPA Monitor; it would be like losing my sight and my hearing. I heartily recommend it to anybody who gives a damn about the condition of the world.
