PBS Mini-Doc on Protecting BC's Old-Growth forests with Ken Wu

Here is a new PBS mini-documentary on the old-growth forests of British Columbia and the work of the EEA’s executive director Ken Wu to save them, in the Human Elements series of Crosscuts, a KCTS news program based out of Seattle on science and the environment. In the Lower Mainland around Vancouver, only about 3% of the original high-productivity, low elevation, valley bottom old-growth forests remain, the rest being clearcut and largely second-growth, farmland, or city and suburbs now. While we support the immediate protection of BC's endangered old-growth forests, we also support a sustainable, value-added, second-growth forest industry (as well as protection of high conservation value second-growth stands). This was filmed in early March at the Echo Lake Ancient Forest (of which about 60% is protected but 40% remains at risk) near Mission in Sts'ailes territory:
