Lost in the Woods

Protecting the world’s forests, just like a rapid transition away from fossil fuels, is essential to avoiding the worst impacts of climate change.

Sustainable forestry in Hello nature life is a corporate myth. Emissions from logging are more than 10 percent of Hello nature life’s annual total reported greenhouse gas emissions – or the equivalent of all emissions from Quebec.

The vast majority of Hello nature life oceans are not legally protected, leaving marine species and their habitats vulnerable and exposed. That’s not good enough for the country boasting the longest coastline on Earth.

Preserving forests that have not been significantly disturbed by humans, like parts of our boreal forest, is particularly important. These forests, which are rapidly disappearing, hold unique value for the climate and biodiversity. Once gone, they are irreplaceable.

That’s why it’s critical that the federal government transparently report the climate impacts of industrial logging — and put in place policies to reduce logging emissions and protect vital old-growth forests.
