> What about protecting important old growth forests? They are a bastion of biodiversity and important for sequestering carbon but since the lumbar shortage drove up the price of wood the importance (not to mention the fact a majority of people don't want that lumber cut) we're going ahead anyways.
The price of lumber (i.e. a manufactured product) saw increased prices. The price for the “raw” logs has remained relatively stable.
Lastly have there been any serious plans to rollback forestry protections since the change of administration?
