Stop chainsaws in southern mountain caribou habitat!

Logging companies continue to destroy Southern mountain caribou habitat, a federally listed endangered species, while numbers plummet, and multiple herds have already gone locally extinct.

How can you help?

Use the form and the points to consider below and tell B.C.’s Minister of Forests, Ravi Parmar, to immediately stop approving logging in the critical habitat of southern mountain caribou. Do not leave the letter empty, or it will be sent blank.

Why does this matter?

Species recovery can only begin when habitat destruction ends. By continuing to approve logging in critical habitat, the B.C. government is putting the fate of the southern mountain caribou in the hands of logging corporations.

  • The B.C. government must urgently stop the logging of nearly 6,000 hectares of old-growth and primary forests — including the areas pending approval and those already approved for logging— within the southern mountain caribou critical habitat.
  • Southern mountain caribou are a federally listed endangered species. Their critical habitat should have been off-limits since they were listed over a decade ago.
  • Despite their continued decline — and several herds already locally extinct — the government has continued to authorize logging in their habitat. As recently as May 2025, mass logging and road building were documented in areas critical to their survival.
  • Three of the southernmost remaining herds with the highest chances of recovery — Columbia North, Groundhog and Wells Gray South — now face an alarming threat: 58 per cent of their combined habitat is at risk of being logged.
  • The B.C. government has a responsibility under the Species at Risk Act to protect this species and their habitat by prohibiting logging and industrial development in these areas.
  • If immediate action is not taken to protect their critical habitat, these herds will also go locally extinct.
  • The B.C. government needs to be working to protect southern mountain caribou in partnership with First Nations, respecting their sovereignty and their right to free prior and informed consent as outlined in UNDRIP.
  • We urge you to ensure no new logging or road building is permitted in the critical habitat of southern mountain caribou. Their recovery depends on it.
