Rachel McAdams Joins Stand.earth in Urging Protection of BC's Old-Growth Rainforests

Rachel McAdams took part in a video produced by Stand.earth, urging the British Columbia government to cease logging the province's remaining old-growth rainforests. Stand.earth is an environmental organization focused on conserving threatened ecosystems and advocating for sustainable forestry practices. British Columbia's old-growth rainforests are critical for biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and indigenous communities. These ancient forests, defined by their large, old trees and complex ecosystems, cover approximately 13.2 million hectares. However, only a small fraction, around 3%, contains trees that are over 250 years old. Large-scale logging has dramatically diminished these ancient forests, prompting conservation groups to call for immediate government action. Rachel McAdams lent her voice to this cause, highlighting the urgency of protecting these irreplaceable ecosystems. The video aimed to raise public awareness and generate political pressure. Indigenous groups, scientists, and environmentalists support ending old-growth logging to preserve the forests' ecological and cultural value. Under continued logging practices, the structural integrity and biodiversity of these ecosystems face serious risks. The video saw wide engagement across social media and news platforms, amplifying the conversation around old-growth forest conservation. It ties into broader environmental and indigenous rights movements, stressing the need for legislative reforms. #StandEarth #RachelMcAdams #OldGrowthForests #BCLogging #ForestConservation #IndigenousRights #SustainableForestry #ActNow #MoofLife
