If You could do something to save wildlife not only in BC but in all Canada, what would that be?
An urgent course of action is:
- Stop logging in public land the most uncontrollable wave of destruction not only off Our forests but also wildlife are the victims of the greed wave.
Under current private logging regulation, there is no limit or cap on the amount of wood a logging company can harvest annually, and there are no requirements to maintain forest cover or wildlife values. Additionally, there's no legal requirement for logging practices on private land to be sustainable over time.
2. Cattle in public land;
Cattle destroys the feeding grounds of ungulates and carnivores who feed in foliage, it is paramount to limit the number of cattle and the permits for grazing in public land, cattle and logging are the most dangerous enemies of wildlife, also destroys shelter and displace wildlife to unfamiliar grounds where most will die of thirst since wildlife remains within familiar terrain where they have shelter, food and water at hand.
3. A cap in the number of new hunters accepted each year must be imposed, we are in the wrong path where we are going to end up with a lot of hunters and no animals to hunt.
Most of the time, hunters are targeted by the government and anti hunting organisations to distract the public from the real culprits for the decimation of wildlife.
As I see the present scenario is time for the BCWF to make a extra effort to help wildlife and to educate the public by means of TV programs with factual proof that the real cause of lost of animal habitat are logging, cattle and the indifference of the government.
