Clayoquot Sound

9th August In the largest mass arrest in Canada's history, 304 children, women and men were arrested for peacefully blockading a logging road. Over 600 have now been arrested this summer in the defence of Clayoquot Sound's endangered temperate rainforest. There is an action camp which is overflowing and everyone there is riding a high on the energy of daily blockades. The UK obtains most of its paper pulp from Canada. Clayoquot Sound is one of the largest continuous tracks of temperate rainforest left in the world.

Actions are planned in Canada for 7th September to take the number of arrests over 1,000. In London, a support action will take place at BC House, Regent Street at 11.00am.
