"When wildfire destroys human houses, the whole world watches.
News cameras arrive.
Losses are counted.
Families are interviewed.
Help is demanded.But just beyond those homes, an entire forest is burning.
Deer are running with their young.
Birds are fleeing through smoke.
Animals are losing their nests, food, shelter—and sometimes their lives.For humans, a burned house is a tragedy.
For wildlife, the burned forest was not just a house.
It was their entire world.They cannot speak to reporters.
They cannot ask for compensation.
They cannot rebuild somewhere else.Wildfires are not only human disasters. Wildlife suffers silently, often without attention, rescue, or headlines.
When we protect forests, we are not only saving trees.
We are protecting millions of homes that have no walls, no insurance, and no voice.Their home matters too."

🦜🌿 It’s International Bird Day
If the forests went silent… would we notice?
From the Amazon to Raja Ampat, bird songs are the sound of life itself - the proof that ecosystems are whole, still wild.
But silence is getting closer. Mining is pushing into some of the last untouched places on Earth.
Protect the sound of nature while it exists. Spread the word, share this post. 🌍💚

My #PhotoArt tribute to #BigLonelyDoug - one of the biggest #DouglasFir #trees in the world.
Learn more about this lonely #OldGrowth tree:
"It has the third highest tree score and third widest diameter of any known Douglas-fir in Canada, following the Red Creek Fir in the nearby San Juan Valley and the Bonin Giant in the Coquitlam River watershed in British Columbia's Lower Mainland"

2025 marks my 33rd year with trying to get #BCForestryReform in #BritishColumbia #Canada.
The former BC Liberals were big on profiting from #deforestation. We had some hope when #BCNDP took over #BCgovernment but that was quickly dashed. The now dead John Horgan led BC into fresh new neoliberal, ecocidal hellholes. Our current BC Premier Eby was groomed by that former colonial capitalist jerkwad. Both neoliberals & fascist adjacent, white-is-right turdbuckets. More forests were clear-cut under #BCNDP power than under the former BC Liberal asshats.
Don't buy into government greenwashing & whitewashing lies when it comes to old growth forests. Denounce forestry industry funded lobbyists BS too. We need to #BanCorporateLobbyists & to #StopCorporateWelfare to fight more government corruption.
#FlashbackFriday
2021. Chained up in front of BC Ministry of Environment for 4 hours to demand a stop to old growth logging, for Old Growth Strategic Review recommendations to be fully implemented & for massive BC forestry reforms. -
#BritishColumbia province-wide #protest demanding a halt to #oldgrowth #logging next Tuesday, November 18th.
Please boost for wider reach 🌲💚🌲✌️Please check the website for more details on different locations for these #MassMobilization protests - all across BC.

Twig antler headband to coexist better with the trees & wildlife, when out exploring magic within forests. I love ancient, mossy, old growth forests 💚🌲❤️🌲💚

*2 DAYS LEFT*
From The Discourse, Cowichan area based independent media. Please take the #survey if you care about access to #wilderness areas. Mosaic is one of the worst ecocide corporations in BC & they're responsible for much #deforestation on #VanIsle & surrounding islands.Mosaic published a survey earlier this month to gather public input on responsible recreation. The company says it will use the survey results to guide the company’s “commitment to responsible #ForestStewardship — balancing public recreation with #environmental protection.”
If you’d like to let Mosaic know what you think about opening up the gates to the private land it manages, the survey is open until May 23.
https://www.mosaicforests.com/news-views/mosaic-seeks-public-input-on-responsible-recreation
The Discourse published an article by reporter Rowan Flood covering the ongoing battle between outdoor recreation groups and Mosaic Forest Management. Mosaic manages huge swaths of land on #VancouverIsland and tightly controls access to what one outdoor enthusiast called the most impressive and “jaw-dropping” parts of the Island. I was completely floored to learn that nearly 600,000 hectares of #unceded land on the Island is privately owned and is managed by a single company.

Hard to show the scale of this old growth beauty from this shot. It takes about 4 humans, holding hands, to hug the whole trunk of this ancient yellow cedar tree.

This #ancient yellow #cedar #tree is older than the Great Wall of China & older than the Vatican.
All #ElderTrees - of this colossal & majestic scale, must be preserved & their ecosystems protected.#OldGrowth #CedarTreeOfLife #WildFirst #ProtectTheWild #BritishColumbia #BCpoli #Canada #SaveOldGrowth #WorthMoreStanding #BCForestryReform #ProtectForests #TreeLovers #TreeHugger #StopDeforestation #StopEcocide #Ecological #Ecosystems #Nature #VancouverIsland #PacificNorthwest #Cascadia #PNW

A beautiful moss covered Western red #cedar #tree - still unprotected.
Only a human, with a compromised & unwell soul, would be OK killing an elder tree this magnificent. Some things are just plain wrong.These ancient old growth trees are essential to fighting accelerated #ClimateChange. #OldGrowth ecosystems in our coastal temperate rainforests supports much biodiverse lifeforms. The naturally moist environment helps to lower impacts of wildfires & other natural disasters that have increased as our governments continue to fund & enable more ecocidal projects.

A lovely unnamed creek, meandering through a coastal temperate #rainforest in the Highlands area of #Wsanec territory. Very few old growth left in this forest; mostly 3rd growth & younger with a few 2nd growth trees mixed in. This is a great area to look for mushrooms.

Our coastal temperate #rainforests on Vancouver Island are super lush with so much #biodiversity. They are worth conserving & protecting. These forests are also full of medicines, some yet to be discovered.

A magical tribute to Canada's #GnarliestTree - in #AvatarGrove in #PortRenfrew.
https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/canada-s-gnarliest-tree
https://vancouverislandview.com/finding-port-renfrews-biggest-trees
We fought hard to save the ancient trees & their life-sustaining wild ecosystems, to get Avatar Grove area protected & turned into a public park. It was previously on the corporate deforestation list prior to the hard grassroots fight to save this area of Port Renfrew, where old growth forests were rapidly dwindling due to colonial capitalist style of short-term greedy gains & putting nature last. Nature should be first.

Backroads, backwoods #hiking in #Sooke.

I love admiring exposed #tree #RootSystems in forests. I find them quite beautiful & very interesting. They are one of many essential life veins in our biodiverse #forests. I'll never grow tired of appreciating tree #roots ❤️🌲

#ThrowbackThursday
2005.
From past film documentary trip through the BC Interior. When I worked with some forestry scientists on documenting pine beetle infestation problems. We had a nice lunch break up in the mountains.#BritishColumbia #trees #monochrome #photography #nature #BWphoto #arbor #TreeLovers #ThinTrunkThursday #TreesThursday #BCInterior #Cascadia #PacificNorthwest #PNW #StopDeforestation #ProtectForests #BWphotography #Pines #EvergreenTrees
