#Ikea is getting their wood from #OldGrowthForests in #Romania
IT TAKES HUNDREDS OF YEARS FOR NATURE TO RE ESTABLISH AND MAY NEVER RECOVER FROM THE DAMAGE YOURE DOING
- The so-called penalty for this is laughable. Centuries old trees are simply irreplaceable. Anyone removing them should serve lengthy jail-terms, the same as if they'd killed people

🌳 Old-growth forests store far more carbon than tree farms — a new study in Sweden shows the difference is massive, especially in the soil.

Port Renfrew, Vancouver Island B.C... big tree country, thus logging country, but the battle to preserve old growth hectares continues due to the passion and efforts of special people who care about the biosphere. Props to ancientforestalliance.org

PLEASE HELP!
Finland's unprotected natural #forests are under increasing threat.
Thanks to active citizens and NGOs
No logging of state-owned natural forests will go unnoticed and companies that buy wood from natural forests will not get away with it.

Image on the left is a closeup of Boreal Felt Lichen on a fir tree, taken by Brad Toms. It appears dark green with white edging and reddish growths. The surface is flat and appear like soft felt-like hairs. Image on the right is of an Old Growth Balsam Forest. The trees appear slender and soft light can be seen streaming through the canopy to the forest floor. Image from: CO4 — Balsam fir / Foxberry – Twinflower Abies balsamea /Vaccinium vitis-idaea - Linnaea borealis https://novascotia.ca/natr/forestry/veg-types/co/co4.asp. Text: Lichen survive according to a symbiotic relationship. Fugus & cyanobacterium need each other; one produces the nurturance while one provides a protective structure. Boreal Felt Lichen typically grow on fir trees, like Balsam Fir over 30 years.
#SpeciesAtRisk like #BorealFeltLichen reveal the importance of further research into biodiversity within our #NovaScotia forests. Protecting and conserving Nova Scotia's #OldGrowthForests is critical to monitoring climate change. www.nsenvironmentalnetwork.com/blog/lichens...

‘Dodgy dirty deal’: Coalition furious over EPBC agreement
Jonathon Duniam, who was a key negotiating figure for the Coalition is ropable in the Senate – which has passed the motion to bring on debate of the environment bills.
He says the bills will “now be rammed through in record time” and warns the bill will see native forestry “shut down” within years.
The government was negotiating with both the Coalition and the Greens to pass the bill, with two separate sets of amendments.
Duniam is not happy the Greens won out on the negotiations, and says the Coalition found out that the government was not accepting its amendments at the prime minister’s press conference this morning.
This is a pattern of behaviour at the end of every sitting year we see the arrangement be the mighty new Labor-Green alliance come together, they’ve been together behind closed doors for a couple of weeks now hatching this one up.
Where are they [Labor] standing up for the workers who have been abandoned under this the dodgy, dirty deal done behind closed doors at the 11th hour.
He’s also critical of the Greens who had forced the parliament to set up an inquiry into the bill, that’s due to report back in March next year.
Who’s voting to ram the bills through the Senate today, none other than the Australian greens enviro spokesperson senator Hanson-Young and all her colleagues.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rrigcgajvpkngw5ewsmqznjj/bafkreiehz4ol74jyqmzuc5kfm2thncn3dan4dbk7fpglfdnlzkgbygkica)

#EPBC_Act An outcome that can be celebrated for many reasons & this one in particular! 🍾 🥂 #Greens #Environment #Liberals The #RegionalForestAgreements that enabled the logging of #OldGrowthForests will be gone! And I spared you having to see a pic of #JonnoDuniam 😄 who needs a slap!

Upper central image is of a marten with its mouth open and arching it’s back while sitting in the snow. Most of the coat of fur is a deep orange, there is white along the side of the face and around the moth. Bottom central image is a map of Nova Scotia highlighting marten populations in Cape Breton and southern Nova Scotia. Top right is and image of an old growth forest in Lone Shieling Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Bottom right image is of an old growth forest in Kejimkujik Nation Park.
