In this video, we will discuss what is perhaps one of the world's rarest ecosystem, the lesser-known North American Temperate Inland Rainforest.The Weather Network, Canada's answer to The Weather Channel, uploaded their own video listing FIVE Facts About B.C.'s Rare Temperate Rainforest.
It's considered to be one of only two inland temperate rainforests in the world. This forest contains a diversity of rare species and ancient trees. The Weather Network's Mia Gordon shares five facts about this rare ecosystem.Those are the facts, now how does this forest make us feel and what can we do about it? Valhalla Wilderness answers that question in Walking Among Giants: Saving BC's Inland Temperate Rainforest.
Take a walk through BC's ancient, globally unique Inland Temperate Rainforest with veteran conservationist Craig Pettitt of the Valhalla Wilderness Society. These forests and the mountain caribou they support are endangered by clearcut logging, which continues despite the urging of a recent provincial commission to protect what remains of our old growth. Pettitt describes Valhalla's thoughtful plan to do just that, through the formation of three new provincial parks which would link up with existing protected areas to create intact wildlife corridors and ecological connectivity. Learn how you can take action now to save the Inland Temperate Rainforest and mountain caribou at VWS.orgThis video is about preserving the remnants of the ecosystem in British Columbia. I'm not a resident of that province or of Canada, but those of my readers who are can act as Craig Pettitt requests. Now I feel like I should see what, if anything, is being done to preserve the U.S. portion of the inland rainforest. Next year.
Stay tuned for a less serious post tomorrow on Detroit-style Pizza Day.
