Canada’s Fairy Creek Old Growth Forest at Center of Months-Long Anti-Logging Protest
(Los Angeles, CA / August 9, 2021) — GoAskAlex has just released a powerful new article, ‘Pornstars for Preservation’, on her personal blog, goaskalexonline.com, about the plight of Canada’s Fairy Creek Old Growth Forest.
The activist and adult star, who traveled to the site where 11-month-long peaceful protests and road blockades have been hampering the efforts of loggers intent on decimating “the last remaining unlogged, intact valley outside of federal/provincial parks on Southern Vancouver Island”, brought along fellow performers Margo Bones and Natie Del to join the demonstrators and “participate in collective civil disobedience.”
The Blockade to protect old-growth forests on the traditional lands of the Pacheedaht and Ditidaht peoples is crucial, Alex explains. “Mega-Corporation Teal Jones is fighting for the right to destroy these thousand-year-old trees for immediate financial gain – but logging the last unprotected old-growth is arguably not sustainable, nor financially smart in the long haul.
“Once cut it will only be more difficult to create a diverse economy in BC including sectors like tourism and recreation. Sustainable forestry jobs mean having a forest to return to. As the age old saying goes – economy doesn’t matter without air to breathe.”
Alex writes that “during our time at the peaceful blockade we also witnessed harassment and violence – but not from the protesters. The RCMP in Canada have a long history of violence, particularly towards Indigenous people… this violence manifests in many ways… including the destruction of culturally significant land and ancient forests.”
She adds that “as both an Indigenous person and a settler, I aim to use my privilege and platform to bring awareness to this movement. With such a long sustained occupation of this land, and with over 400 arrests to date during the duration of the blockade, why isn’t there more media coverage?”
