Conservationists
are employing a new tool in the battle to protect BC’s endangered
old-growth forests – remotely-piloted drones. The Ancient Forest
Alliance is using a small drone equipped with a GoPro camera to monitor
and document the endangered old-growth forests of the Central Walbran
Valley on Vancouver Island.
This has allowed the organization to capture
aerial video footage of old-growth forests threatened by logging on
steep, rugged terrain that otherwise would take hours to hike to.
Helicopter-based logging, or heli-logging, is expected for several of
the eight proposed cutblocks in the Central Walbran Valley, including
the first approved Cutblock 4424 (approved last Friday by the BC Forest
Service), due to the difficulty of road access in the mountains.
