Then there's carbon: One study found that of over 600k trees surveyed, the largest 3% stored 42% of all the forest’s carbon stored above ground.
Others have estimated the top 1% diameter trees store 1/2 the carbon in all world forests. frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

NEW: The B.C. government is moving to double the amount of old-growth forests protected from logging in the province.
Temporary deferrals on logging will cover an area of land the size of Rwanda.

Model minorities! Exotic eats! Immigrant invasions!
Can we please have better coverage on all things "ethnic"? I'm giving this newsletter thing a try to talk about reporting "diversely" beyond harmful tropes.
Hope you'll tag along in some way! @TheTyee

The failed motion would have cut emissions by up to 14% and raised roughly $60 million for alternative transportation like EV charging stations, pedestrian crossings and dedicated bus lanes.
What will take its place is not clear.

Still thinking about the two UBC students that were senselessly killed by a careless driver. I’ve cycled and walked down Marine Drive countless times. I rely mostly on unprotected bike lanes/streets to get around. So many drivers speed, block bike lanes. There are no consequences
With empty promises of urban renewal, a developer strips the metal guts out of an old naval hospital, making a tidy profit. Then declares bankruptcy and sues county authorities for even more money! Enter the surreal world Donald Jr @JoeRubinCreates

Police makes CBC TV crew walk 14k with heavy gear to cover #oldgrowth protest at #FerryCreek Sad that RCMP tried to shut them out, but they got the story in the end! Nice work @cbcnewsbc @Adamvanderzwan 👏👏👏

We watch in complete shock as Taliban takes control of Afghanistan. I am deeply worried about women, minorities and human rights advocates. Global, regional and local powers must call for an immediate ceasefire, provide urgent humanitarian aid and protect refugees and civilians.

Just to be even more clear:
Journalists have a right to be at the Fairy Creek watershed blockades and not be arrested.

The CAJ is calling on courts to limit the powers of the RCMP when issuing injunctions.
This call comes after the RCMP temporarily blocked media access to the Fairy Creek watershed, near Port Renfrew, B.C., to enforce an injunction.

Suzanne's work sheds light on how trees share and cooperate to survive and thrive. I'm excited to hear more!
