BC FORESTRY FAILING: A Forestry Report Card was recently released by the British Columbian activists and the World Wildlife Fund giving a "F" grade to government and timber industry's forest practices. The report documents the disturbing reality of inadequate protection for BC's forests. Out of Twelve criteria for determining sustainable management such as rate of logging, protection of endangered species, biodiversity, and water quality, the BC government received a "D" in four categories and "Fs" in the remaining eight. "This grade demonstrates that British Columbia's claims of 'world class forest practices' are not true," said Will Horter of Sierra Legal Defense Fund. "The timber industry is failing the elementary courses, when they should be preparing for advanced levels." "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." (Albert Einstein) Bret Diamond
