Blinded by profit

Article Abstract:

The ancient forests of British Columbia are almost eradicated because of Doman Industries' continuous logging operations in the area. The logging company has been cutting down trees for commercial purposes for almost 150 years, and thus, destroying more than two-thirds of the temperate rainforest. Despite pressure from the government and environmental organizations Doman Industries continues to violate forestry regulations.
