Save Canada's last

To Premier David Eby, Premier of Canadian British Columbia:
I urge you to halt all industrial clear-cutting of old-growth forest on Pacheedaht unceded lands, particularly the Walbran Valley. You are destroying thousand-year-old forests that sustain biodiversity, regulate the climate, and hold profound cultural and spiritual significance for Indigenous Peoples. You must stop this now, and save what’s left of our old-growth forests instead.

To Premier David Eby, Premier of Canadian British Columbia:
As a boy, I remember when the salmon ran in the river in runs so strong you could walk across them to the other side. I have always considered our forests as our cathedral, our relatives who provide us with food, medicine, biodiversity and everything we need to exist. Quite simply, the land is us and we are the land, and that relationship of love and respect has sustained us for millennia. Never take more than you need; never take it all has always been our way.
Yet, in less than 200 years, our land has been ravaged in the pursuit of profit for both government and industry. There is no thought to the care of the people. In destroying our forests, you have brought upon us terrible wildfires, droughts, floods and landslides across the province of British Columbia.
