LOGGING in BC: 32 YEAR TIMELAPSE VIEW

Timelapse is a global, zoomable, view on Google Earth showing how the Earth has changed over 32 years.
Navigate to areas of interest as usual within Google Earth, mosaics can be viewed at various speeds.

Navigate to the Boundary area BC, for a startling view of the extent of logging in the area. Although the Timelapse video indicates it covers the period 1984 to 2016 it appears that their info is taken from 2 year old source views, so the last couple of years of active logging in the Boundary don't show.
Sustainable?
