Where do the weapons & mercenaries come from, those that destabilise the Sub-Saharan Sahel region in Africa?

Who trains the troops of warlords?
Who runs the gold, diamond & rare earths mines that employ child labour?
Who controls logging companies destroying huge swathes of Africa's rain forests?

That's right: The Wagner group, from Russia.

Mid-day at the Wrecks, looking east towards Comox across the old booming ground. I knew men who worked here in the 1940s and 1950s. This is where the Comox Valley old growth forest was dumped off railcars and boomed up for Fraser Mills in Vancouver. I knew these men when I was a boy and they were old, white-haired loggers who worked with my father.

Nature on the run in 2025.

Victoria’s Environment Minister just ruled out a new Great Forest National Park to the relief of destructive logging, hunting, mineral prospecting, bush-whacking dirt bike groups. Because hiking camping, animal & bird watching in national parks is not the right kind of recreation 🤪 @PHuntAgri The Weekly Times
this will happen to #nsw Great Koala Park 🐨

If you visit Mohonk Mountain House right now you'll notice that dozens of large trees surrounding Lake Mohonk have been cut down, presumably to provide a better view of the iconic summer houses from the hotel. The clearcutting is a jarring change for regulars but what I found super annoying is the text on the signs they've situated near all the stumps: "reforestation in progress please stay on marked path." Reforestation?? #NewPaltz #NewYork #trees #forest #logging #gazebos #mohonk

Great video on roadless areas around #lassenpark in #EasternCalifornia by a forest manager and cartographer.

Logging risked areas may not help with fire and land management. There's a lot of nuance that goes into proper stewardship of forests, highly managed forests of dense monocrop trees burn hotter than less continuous and varied stands actively managed with prescribed fire.

Another excellent article on the hydrological effects of clearcut logging. Be sure to take the time to watch the video featuring UBC forest hydrologist Younis Alila. Alila and his colleagues have transformed the way we analyze logging impacts on floods, drought, mass wasting, and sediment delivery to streams from logging operations.

Between Dec 2024 and March 2025, 362 #wolves were killed by #government
contractors—an alarming spike from 248 the year before.

For nearly a decade, wolves have been scapegoated as part of B.C.’s #caribou
recovery strategy—even as #logging continues in critical caribou #habitat.

But there’s a glimmer of hope: B.C. Timber Sales just paused logging in a portion of core caribou habitat near #Revelstoke following public pressure.
