Save Old Growth

As Zain Haq’s removal date nears, he is fighting to stay in Canada. Experts and climate activists consider how the case might impact the global climate movement, as repression of activism rises.

Old-growth activist Ben Holt recently pleaded guilty to mischief charges and vowed to give up his civil disobedience. “I can either continue in civil disobedience or I can continue in my marriage. I enthusiastically choose my marriage.”

International student and climate activist Zain Haq surrendered to CBSA on Tuesday and will remain in detention until at least Thursday when a hearing is scheduled.

Minutes after stopping a car on Vancouver's Ironworkers Memorial Bridge to disrupt traffic Monday, protesters holding a “Save Old Growth” banner were arrested.

The activists behind road blockades and hunger strikes calling for an end to old-growth logging in British Columbia say their non-violent actions are aimed at sparking public discussion and urging politicians to heed climate science.

A British Columbia man says he was briefly hospitalized on the 24th day of a hunger strike to protest old-growth logging but plans to go without food until the end of the month before joining others in escalating action against the government.
