flag Protests erupted in over 10 British Columbia communities on November 18, 2025, as environmental groups demanded an end to logging in old-growth and primary forests, citing ecological risks and broken promises. flag Activists accused the provincial government of prioritizing industry over conservation, pointing to increased logging in protected areas despite a 2021 advisory panel’s recommendations. flag Demonstrators called for immediate permit halts in deferral zones, tenure reform, and passage of a proposed New Forestry Act to cut timber harvests by more than half. flag They emphasized the urgent need for sustainable practices to protect biodiversity, mitigate climate change, and support small mills amid economic strain from U.S. lumber tariffs.
