Cathedral Grove Vancouver Island

CathedralGrove.se
The Swedish website project on Cathedral Grove explores - primarily by means of visual representation - the relationships between environmental politics and history; between environmental activism and vested interests; between environmental ethics and science; between European and North American cultural identities. The project is motivated by a concern over the degradation of nature by the global wood products industry, and reflects on the non-sustainable consumption of natural resources and its devastating consequences on the ancient forests and indigenous peoples of the world. The Cathedral Grove website is an appeal to help protect the last old growth forests in North America, those rare and endangered places that have hitherto escaped the tsunami of imperialism, resource exploitation and population expansion triggered by Europeans.
