CHKO stands for Protected Landscape Area. But is it really untouched, pristine nature? After visiting CHKO Beskydy, I have a different take on what the acronym really means: Concrete Half Kingdom Overall.
Photos and a short story from the trip:

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.

Riparian areas are important for our biodiverse ecosystems. They need protection.

North-East Atlantic’s biggest #Marine #ProtectedArea (#MPA )extended to include the #seafloor
https://www.ospar.org/news/ospar2023#OSPAR Contracting Parties agreed to extend its largest MPA to include the seabed and a number of additional #species and #habitats, such as #coral gardens and #deep-sea #sharks, within the scope of the MPA.

The damage that #musk and #spacex are doing to protected #wildlife in #texas reminds me of Dinosaurs and all that Rubbish by Michael Foreman.
I can only hope Musk's story ends with a similar epiphany.

Nice, though short walk on Miner's Marsh in the middle of Kentville with @stevenkennard this afternoon. Signs of spring are starting to appear. It was 20ºC (70ºF) so felt very warm. Can you see the goose on the little island? There were also red winged blackbirds and others.
Hashtag list begins:

Researchers have found that mesopredator sharks are thriving in New Zealand's marine reserves, likely because they, and the lobsters and fish they eat, are protected from fishing. #InGraphicDetail📊
