Globe and Mail -- B.C. eco groups call for 50 per cent land conservation
,January 27th, 2010
A coalition of environmental groups is calling on the B.C. government to conserve 50 per cent of the province's land base to fight climate change.
Seven B.C.-based groups, including the David Suzuki Foundation, ForestEthics and West Coast Environmental Law Society, are preparing to release a report Thursday that concludes a 50-per-cent conservation target gives plants and animals the opportunity to survive and adapt to the ravages of climate change.
The report is the work of B.C. ecologist and forester Dr. Jim Pojar, who has studied the B.C. ecosystem for more than 30 years.
