N they climb trees and live in tents there and stuff. Seems like a massive waste of time to me.
Old growth trees are a key part of the ecosystem where they are which would never be recovered in our lifetimes, even if loggers re-planted the same types immediately (which they never do). These trees are key to a lot of animal habitats and have over the years become a good store of carbon) Those nudists protecting them are the last line of defense usually. Do they need to be naked? Probably not. Are they helping the cause? If you want to live a life with an environment, absolutely.
It annoys me to no end when people say stuff like “There are 100x more trees now than there were XXX years ago!”. Yeah, but almost all of those trees are young and don’t support the ecosystem of the trees that we’ve already cut down. And that is ignoring that most of those trees are going to be cut down again, before they start actually having any significant benefit compared to the old growth.
Last line of defense to what end? It doesn’t work. Shit gets delayed for a few days but then it’s business as usual. As if the workers give a fuck about some naked hippies banging some bongo drums outside the logging site…
Tree sitting works, dingus, if you make things difficult enough you can eventually get these companies/governments to stop
