The Canadians come through again. Congrats to our smart northern neighbors.
"Ending a decade-long environmental battle once dubbed the 'War of the Woods,' British Columbia is set to announce Tuesday the creation of a park twice the size of Yellowstone along a vast coastal swath where grizzly bears and wolves now prowl under thousand-year-old cedar trees.
The park will cover 4.4 million acres, and strict new controls will protect against exploitation on an additional 10 million acres. The entire territory, being called the Great Bear Rainforest, is the result of an unusual alliance of loggers, environmentalists, native groups and the provincial government."
Emphasis added. I just really like cedar trees, & now, even in my geezer years, I may be able to see a thousand years old cedar.
