G&M: Envrionmental groups furious, threaten new war in the woods

quote: "This is unbelievable," Adriane Carr, leader of the B.C. Green Party, said yesterday. "To me it's tantamount to a declaration of war. . . . People all over the world believe that the forests in Clayoquot Sound are protected. They will not stand quietly by as chainsaws rip through the heart of Clayoquot Sound."

quote: Tzeporah Berman, program director of enivronmental group ForestEthics, said key wilderness areas in the middle of Clayoquot Sound will be lost.

"I never thought I'd say these words: Clayoquot Sound is going to be logged. The pristine valleys are now open to having roads blasted into them," she said, choking back tears.

She said the decision could trigger blockades. "I hope it's not going to come to that. But this is our worst nightmare."
