Forestry companies get deep discounts and other perks when they harvest in areas burned by B.C. wildfires. But salvage logging also targets living trees that could play a key role in species and ecosystem recovery
Logging companies get to clearcut burned forests, including trees that survived the burn. Another way that capital can profit even from disaster. And the extractive state lays down the red carpet for capital to do it.

Why not let the forest regrow naturally? Burned forests are like nurseries for new growth and wild animals.
Cause money and if it's burned it's easier to trick people into letting you destroy it.
