The clearcut logging footage shown in Island of the Spirit Bear was taken during June and July 2000 by the Raincoast Conservation Society . The eight minute video shows massive clearcuts on steep slopes, salmon habitat destruction and permanently destroyed Spirit bear, grizzly bear and wolf habitat.

"More letters of support have been written advocating protection of this unique rainforest habitat than any other part of the province, yet it is the current victim of the most destructive clearcut logging that Raincoast has documented in its ten years of coastal work," says Chris Genovali of Raincoast

By far the most environmentally destructive logging that Raincoast documented during the two months was by International Forest Products on Princess Royal Island. This section of the video comes at a very bad time for Interfor considering its current refusal to work out a peaceful solution with environmental groups and its concern over losing more customers of its wood products.
