  1. #FlashbackFriday
    2020.

    I was invited to go on a #flotilla #protest led by #IndigenousChiefs & leaders from the North Island in late 2019 - we went in March of 2020. To stop 2 open net fish farms, in the #DiscoveryIslands archipelago, from restocking their pens. These fish farms are remote & they don't want public to access them. No restocking was able to happen on day we went on flotilla protest & patrol.

    I've been a part of the battle here to get #FishFarmsOut for over a decade. There's finally some progress but we need to still keep up the pressure on federal & provincial governments.
    #SaveWildSalmon because they're a #KeystoneSpecies & if we lose them, it sets off chain reactions in both #ocean & #OldGrowthForest #ecosystems. Wild salmon are extremely important to the Indigenous peoples of BC & the fight to protect them goes back decades.

    Always put #WildFirst ✊️

  6. #Fash much, #UK? #Preemptive arrests of #ClimateActivists, but it's perfectly fine to be a #FarRight #AntiImmigrant #Fascist?

    Mass pre-emptive arrest of #ReclaimThePower #activists in #Yorkshire

    Aug 8, 2024

    22 held as police foil plot to bring #CompostToilets and #wheelchair track to #Drax #ClimateCamp

    "UPDATE 13.30: the climate camp has now been cancelled

    "Officers from the Metropolitan police this morning led local forces in a raid on Bentley Urban Farm in Doncaster, said eye witnesses. They arrested twenty two activists, who were preparing to transport infrastructure, sanitation and accessibility equipment to the upcoming climate camp at Drax power station.

    "Crashing sounds were heard from outside the site as vehicles and equipment were impounded. The detainees were taken to York police station, where they are being held for conspiracy charges: in this case, to interfere with key national infrastructure at Drax Power Station in Selby between 8 and 13 August. Media repeated the police’s claim they are “not against protest but against crime”.

    "This morning’s pre-emptive arrests, ahead of a peaceful protest, contrast sharply with the State’s failure to foil recent far right violence, said Reclaim the Power. 'Black and Brown communities are under attack with fire and bricks and the police have made the unfathomable decision to divert resources away from those communities to arrest 22 people taking equipment to make a peaceful climate protest safe and accessible', said the group in a statement."

  11. 30 years after Clayoquot Sound protests, old-growth logging continues unabated: B.C. conservation group

    cbc.ca/news/canada/british-col

    "Forest management in region since so-called War of the Woods should be model for rest of B.C., critics say."
    #Clayoquot Sound #OldGrowthForest #Logging #bcpoli #cdnpoli

  12. "The B.C. government has scuttled a federal plan to designate large swaths of core critical habitat for the endangered spotted owl, easing the way for imminent old-growth logging..

    Almost 50% of core critical habitat- habitat that biologists, using the best available science, deemed necessary for the owl’s survival and recovery — was quietly removed from federal maps between 2021 and 2023"
