Ecojustice defends Extinction Rebellion Nova Scotia Association against court injunction - The Moose Blockade
James Gunvaldsen Klaassen, lawyer for Ecojustice, said:
“Members of Extinction Rebellion Nova Scotia Association have been peacefully protesting to draw attention to the risks that forestry activity will have on endangered Mainland Moose and the habitat on which they depend. They have a legal right to do so.
“Habitat loss is putting the survival of Nova Scotia’s iconic Mainland moose at risk. It’s time for the Government of Nova Scotia to stop prioritizing the interests of the province’s forestry industry, including companies such as WestFor Management, and start fulfilling its legal duty to protect these animals before it’s too late.”
