With the spread of industrial forestry across the planet, where is future old growth and habitat for wildlife going to come from? Industrial forestry destroys the complexity that nature creates.
Michelle Connolly, of Conservation North, based in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada, shares the importance of forest death and decay processes for wildlife and biodiversity. She reveals why species disappear when natural forests are converted into tree plantations after industrial logging.
