The following urgent plea to save the rare lush Old Growth Forest habitat and Marbled Murrelet (Ma Mu) and endangered species at risk was hand delivered by MP Elizabeth May to Federal Environmental Minister Steven Guilbeault at the end of March, 2022 .
The Minister’s response was ‘We are working on it.’ The plea was also sent to Minister of Natural Resources Wilkinson, Premier Horgan, relevant BC Cabinet Ministers, The Lieutenant Governor of BC, and The Governor General of Canada.
To date we have had no response from any of our elected or appointed leaders. This research took many months to complete by biologists and legal minds. It is now an open letter to inform the public.
This is the same response that Minister Guilbeault gave to Elizabeth May when she delivered a plea from Pacheedaht Elder Bill Jones on Nov. 23, 2021 requesting the Minister to use his authority to stop the logging at Granite Creek in the Fairy Creek Area. This lush bio diverse Old Growth Forest was logged to 10 % within 2 weeks after Minister Guilbeault received the well documented plea from Elder Bill Jones.
