Local advocacy group Citizens Against Clearcutting has been fighting to stop the province's clear cutting plans near Port Blandford for years now. Their latest move? Pairing up with an environmental law charity, Eco-Justice, to seek a judicial review of the government's plans. The group says they had no choice but to take legal action because the government refuses to listen to their concerns. We spoke to Carol Warren, a spokesperson for the group.

Thinking Out Loud with Sheldon MacLeod

He's camped out in front of City Hall to protest a lack of protection for the province's forests. He's held a hunger strike in front of Province House over what he calls "ecocide". And now, Jacob Fillmore has a bicycle lock around his neck, attached to a piece of forestry equipment in Dartmouth. The 26-year old activist is in Eisner Cove, trying to prevent clear cutting of an forest that supporters say needs to be protected. Fillmore says he's there to make a difference, and he's there to send a message.

The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, along with the Western Watersheds Project, the Wilderness Society, and the Grand Canyon Trust brought the appeal.

Defender Radio: The Podcast for Wildlife Advocates and Animal Lovers

The scene looks like one painted with the words of Tolkien: moss covered rocks, a babbling brook, various low shrubs, and monstrous trees fill the landscape. The photo I’m describing is this week’s episode art, and was taken by the guest you’ll hear from today. It’s truly beautiful, and exactly what I imagined when we started talking about the Acadian forests of Nova Scotia. It’s also gone. Full of biodiversity, hundreds of years old, and filling an ecological role that’s difficult to fully comprehend, the Acadian forests of Atlantic Canada are under attack. Clearcutting, ineffective replanting, backroom politics, and disinformation are creating a hazardous situation that, according to our guest Cliff Seruntine, is hitting the crisis point. A member of Stop Spraying and Clearcutting Nova Scotia, Cliff says there is less than 1% of the original Acadian Forest left – and it is being cut 20 times faster than it can rejuvenate itself. Cliff joined Defender Radio to discuss the unique ecosystems found in the Acadian Forests, what’s driving the clear cutting, and what ecological and economic solutions exist to replace this dangerous industry.
