I got this book for free 😃 It's an incredible, fully illustrated, children's book about an old growth tree in an ancient forest & the wildlife, flora & mycelium, which all support each other in the ecosystem.

A Tree in the Ancient Forest by Carol Reed Jones & illustrated with drawings by Christopher Canyon.

A really wonderful, educational book that all ages would enjoy & appreciate. This was a fabulous #FreeBook score 💚 It doesn't fit inside my little free library so I'm gifting it to a nearby community center's children's library 😊

We have quite a few Persian immigrants & former refugees of Iran who live in Victoria, BC. One of my good friends, fellow photog, is a Persian immigrant.

There's a lot more to #Iran than just ongoing political strifes, desert lands & religious power conflicts. It's a mostly misunderstood & relatively unknown place to most people from Western worlds. #Persians have a very deep, culturally rich & long history there. Their peoples are highly resilient, creative masters, well educated & quite inventive. Iran is the birthplace of #algebra. It's culturally rich with many beautifully decorated architectural structures all over the country.

Iran also has one of the last broadleaf #AncientForests in the world. It has multiple contrasts in climate - which is why you can experience extreme heat to cold, snow covered mountains, in a day of travel. It has some of the most stunning & interesting landscapes on Earth. It's the 17th largest, sovereign nation in the world. Iran has survived multiple foreign invasion attacks in their past & are very experienced with fighting to protect their homelands.

[ From majestic mountains and lush valleys to dramatic deserts and ancient cities, this travel #documentary explores the most beautiful places in Iran. Journey through breathtaking landscapes, historic Persian sites, and vibrant local culture. Discover #UNESCO #WorldHeritage sites, colorful mosques, remote villages, and timeless traditions that define Iran’s rich #heritage. A cinematic look at one of the world’s most fascinating and underrated travel destinations. ]

This week, I am voting for #BCGreens. I'd #NeverVoteConservative & after what's happened to me, my family, my BIPOC friends & my clients under #BCNDP leadership, I'd #NeverVoteNeoliberal either.

No one can expect me to support #BCNewDeathParty after they keep approving more budget increases for #RCMPCIRG to protect #ecocide #CorporateGreed over protection of our environment/ecosystems, especially irreplaceable #AncientForests & over #BCcitizens #PublicHealth.

#BCNDPLegacyoOfDeath includes my Dad. Their lack of taking #Covid seriously resulted in him being infected in hospital by unmasked staff. It is unforgivable. This government is still aiding/abetting unnecessary infections, deaths & long covid disability.

This is not progress.
This is not civilized.
We need to protect remaining #OldGrowth #AncientForests. They're our 2nd largest #CarbonSinks - after the giant kelp forests in the oceans. #Clearcutting forests should be banned.

The #BCNDP #BCgovernment has said no to a proposal to create a #ProtectedArea for an area of #OldGrowth #cedars near #DuncanLake.

"At this time, #BCParks is not considering including this area in the provincial protected areas system," wrote Minister of Land, Water and Resource Stewardship #NathanCullen in a letter to Grant Trower of Howser, B.C., on Sept. 3.

Trower is the founder of the group #WildlifeHabitatsForTomorrow that has been advocating for the protection of a 531-hectare grove and wetland.

He wants #BritishColumbia to declare the #CedarGroves a protected area, which is a category of protection just short of a full-fledged provincial park.

“There are many #trees in this grove that are well over 1,000 years old, and one that is estimated to be 2,100 years old,” said Trower. “They are the largest trees in the whole southern interior #rainforest. It isn’t just old growth. It’s #ancient old growth.”

He told the Nelson Star that Cullen's letter will not deter him.

"The advocacy is ongoing to ensure this special place will remain for our kids and grandchildren, for this grove is unique and easy to experience," he said, adding that the next steps will include media attention, targeted field trips and obtaining #FirstNations #endorsement.

In late June, #BritishColumbia & #GovernmentOfCanada announced that they’ve helped non-profit foundations & trusts buy 8 parcels of land from private owners for #OldGrowth #Conservation, largely on and around #VancouverIsland.

However, all but one of the #forests included in this purchase announcement do not contain old-growth #trees, defined by the #BCgovernment as 250-year-old #CoastalForests & 140-year-old forests in parts of the #BCInterior. Instead, 7 of 8 purchased properties contain what’s called “recruitment” old-growth — that is, forests that have been #logged.

Photos taken by members of #environmental organization #AncientForestAlliance #AFA earlier this month show massive old-growth trees being logged by #BCTimberSales, #BCNDP’s own #logging agency, in the Nahmint Valley on Vancouver Island. Some of these trees are more than 500 yrs old, according to the organization.

#BritishColumbia #OldGrowth #activists have taken before and after photos of a large area of an #AncientGrove that was #clearcut on #VancouverIsland near #PortAlberni in the #NahmintValley.

The #AncientForestAlliance says that many of the massive #trees that were cut down were over 500 years old, some being up to nine feet across.

Now that the grove has been cut, they are urging the #BCgovernment to immediately correct misidentified #AtRisk #OldGrowth #forests that could be eligible for #LoggingDeferrals.

I'm going to bed thinking...at least I'll be dead & buried & not be alive to witness #humans killing the last of our #AncientForests.

I'll #nurture & #protect what I can, while alive. I will plant & sow, despite.

#China is home to around 200 #tiankeng, which are mostly distributed from the central #Shaanxi province down to the #GuangxiZhuang autonomous region in the southwest. Roughly 1/3 of the country consists of #karst — the highest proportion of overall surface area of any country in the world — compared with just under 1/5 in the United States.

Belated #ThickTrunkTuesday entry.

This #ancient red #cedar is close to 500 yrs old. It's one of the last remaining #OldGrowth cedars within #CRD areas on South #VancouverIsland & we need rest of unprotected #AncientForests protected for perpetuity.

“Scores of abnormally hot summers showed up, many grouped into multiyear warm periods. But the new study shows that the last 40 years, driven by human-influenced warming, has been the hottest—and that 2021 was the hottest summer in the entire span.”

I'm a proud longtime #treehugger - I love trees more than most humans.
There's incredible #magical #pure #natural #energy in #forests - especially #AncientForests w/many #OldGrowth #trees still standing. It should be criminal to cut down #ElderTrees ✊

We saved #ancientforests areas from #ClayoquotSound #WarOfTheWoods in 90s. Many OG cutblocks have been fully decimated since. BC government lied to public. Irreplaceable old growth forests are still being clearcut in #BritishColumbia #Canada weekly🌲
