A trio of environmental groups are taking the provincial government to court over its own forestry laws.
Devon Page, Executive Director of Ecojustice, says they want a judge to find that the province has violated its own laws that protect the coastal douglas fir and to make it stop logging immediately.
"I describe this case as kind of an intersection between unsustainable logging practises, an undangered species crisis in B.C., and the fact that we have some of the worst laws to protect our forests and our wildlife."
Page says douglas fir forests are near extinction.
He adds the groups are tired of the BC government misleading the public when it claims it has "world-class environmental standards."
