Interesting stuff.
I work as a forestry consultant here in B.C. For the last few years whenever there have been clearcuts in sensitive areas like this, it's been because of the infestation of the Mountain Pine Beetle. Just skimmed through the link, but it didn't seem they were cutting due to the bugs, but rather purely for volume purposes. Is that the truth, or does anyone know if there is indeed Pine beetle in this area?
If you are going to write somebody, make sure you write your levels of government. The reason they are allowing the logging company to harvest there is because the government will make (a lot of) money off of it..........pretty simple.
