Shauna Doll is the Gulf Islands Raincoast Conservation Foundation's forest project coordinator. She has a master's degree in resource and environmental management from Dalhousie University, and is a forester-in-training with the BC Association of Forest Professionals. Her work focuses on improving the way we manage forests with ecological integrity and resilience at the forefront of all decision-making.
Despite the rapidly escalating need to protect B.C.'s ecological communities, the tools granted to the Islands Trust to protect them are a fraction of what has been granted to the province's municipalities.
The BC NDP's approach to protecting old-growth forests is unsettlingly reminiscent of the failed approaches to the management of past provincial governments, write Shauna Doll and Chris Genovali of the Raincoast Conservation Foundation.
