Recent reports reveal troubling developments for old-growth forests worldwide. In the UK, a power station has been burning rare wood sourced from Canadian old-growth forests, despite receiving substantial environmental subsidies. Additionally, conservationists in the US are urgently trying to raise $1 million in 60 days to purchase a 2.4-acre parcel of wild Laurel Canyon. Furthermore, concerns are brewing over the expansion of orchards in Canada's wine country, potentially jeopardizing a vital wildlife corridor. These stories underscore the pressing need for immediate action to protect and preserve old-growth forests in the face of industrial interests and urban expansion.
