- Clayoquot_protests abstract "The Clayoquot protests were a series of protests related to clearcut logging in Clayoquot Sound, British Columbia. The protest against the logging of the temperate rainforest in 1993 was, at the time, the largest act of civil disobedience in Canadian history.The timber resources of Clayoquot Sound attracted growing numbers of foreigners, limiting access of indigenous peoples to land and creating increasing displeasure among the local population. Government support of private company resource extraction allowed for the growth of this industry over time, resulting in the presence of logging companies in Clayoquot Sound in the 1980s and 1990s. The differing opinions between these groups led to the development of First Nations lobbying organizations and a series of negotiations over logging practices. The situation escalated in the late 1980s when MacMillan Bloedel secured a permit to log Meares Island.Opposition to MacMillan Bloedel logging in Clayoquot Sound was expressed in several peaceful protests and blockades of logging roads from 1980 to 1994. The largest protest occurred in the summer of 1993, when over 800 protesters were arrested and many put on trial. Protesters included local residents of the Sound, the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation and Ahousaht First Nation bands, and environmentalist groups such as Greenpeace and Friends of Clayoquot Sound.The portrayal of the logging protests and blockades received worldwide mass media attention, creating national support for the environmental movement in British Columbia and fostering strong advocacy for anti-logging campaigns. Media attention was focused around the perceived unfairness of the mass arrests of people engaging in peaceful protests and blockades. Participants encountered aggression and intimidation from law enforcement, which served to strengthen public support for nonviolent protests.".
