🌿 Enhance soil water retention with Biochar! 🌱💧

Biochar's porous structure holds moisture, reduces evaporation & keeps the land fertile. In regions facing drought Biochar enhances the soil’s ability to support plant life, slowing down soil degradation & restoring our ecosystems.

Research shows Biochar can increase soil water retention by up to 50%, making it a vital tool in the fight against desertification.

We need the #BCgovernment to get the message from concerned communities across B.C. that we must work together and with urgency to #protect #OldGrowthForests and #reform #forestry practices. To do so, the next steps are crucial:

#StopLogging in the most at-risk #OldGrowth #forests, and other #ecosystems identified by First Nations, by providing promised funding for #LoggingDeferrals.

Provide full #FinancialSupport to #FirstNations for long-term #IndigenousLed #conservation solutions, including #compensation for lost revenues and employment.

Move away from the “all or nothing” approach common in forestry practices across B.C. and most evident in #ClearcutLogging. In its place, work with First Nations, local residents, industry and other stakeholders to implement forestry practices that prioritize important values like #biodiversity, #habitat, #WaterRetention, #Indigenous #CulturalUse, and #tourism.
