British Columbia is logging its last old growth. Protesters are sleeping in the road to stop it

Approximately 20 protesters, described as forest defenders, established a blockade on a gravel logging road in southwest Vancouver Island near Port Renfrew, British Columbia. Operating in a five-car caravan during the evening, the group sought to halt ongoing commercial timber harvesting.

The demonstrations target the logging of British Columbia's remaining ancient forests. The action highlights ongoing regional tensions between environmental protection efforts and the commercial timber industry in western Canada.
