Loopholes, mismanagement, and government policy that force tenure holders to cut old growth.
The giant trees in these photos are not in coastal BC rainforests. They are 400km inland from the sea! They are precious and rare, yet they are still logged. It's insane.

Cancelled Kapuni carbon storage scheme scrapped from national emissions plan
Despite a raft of climate policy cuts, the country is still on track to narrowly meet its greenhouse gas budget - but not a 2030 methane target set in law.

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.”

With oil prices hovering around $60/bbl, there isn't much interest in ANWR drilling, for now.
Trump officials say Alaska is 'open for business.' So far, no one's buying.
The administration wants to drill in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Oil companies don’t, leaving Alaska to spend millions propping up the idea.

The US has cloned breeder animals since 2009. Pressure is on countries to accept US meat from clones without labeling. They have lost track of the clones and can't tell if a cow/pig/goat was born to a clone or not, so there is no way to label it. We don't even know how many breeder clones there are.
