The movement to save old‑growth

Beyond a petition — become part of a community for change

The B.C. government needs to do more to protect old-growth. We know that it's consistent, concerted pressure from as many people as possible that moves decision-makers, and our aim is to make it easy for tens of thousands of people to raise their voices together.

⚡ Sign the petition and join the collective people-powered movement to get old-growth forests protected. Then scroll down for more ways to take action. We'll follow up via email with other opportunities to get involved. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Thank you for adding your voice to this petition:

To the Honourable Legislative Assembly of the Province of British Columbia, in Legislature Assembled:
The petition of the undersigned, concerned citizens states that:

  • WHEREAS the vast majority of the original, low-elevation old-growth rainforest in B.C. has already been logged;
  • WHEREAS old-growth forest in B.C. is still being logged at a rate of 41,000 hectares per year;
  • WHEREAS original rainforest provides critical habitat for wildlife, resources and economic opportunities for Indigenous Peoples and forest communities, and more carbon storage than second-growth forests;
  • and WHEREAS the B.C. forest industry has lost 22,400 jobs in the last decade (six jobs per day) and is in need of revitalization and reform in favour of ecosystems and communities;

Your petitioners respectfully request that the Honourable House protect all remaining old-growth rainforests and invest in a just transition to sustainable value-added second-growth forestry that prioritizes Indigenous Rights and local communities.
