Forests of British Columbia (Canada)


TypePoster

Duration: June 1973 - September 1999

Temperate forests are generally found in mid-latitudes where the change in seasons is well defined. Humans value such zones for the quality of life they o¤er and for their rich resources. The consequence of our presence? The forests, and the wildlife they sustain, become victims of over-exploitation and disappear, as can be seen in these images of British Columbia.
