Ingmar Lee has crawled through the desecrations of industrial logging as a professional treeplanter for 21 years. He has planted more than 1,000,000 trees throughout British Columbia. Over the years, he came to realize that planting trees in logging wreckage is a government and industry Greenwash SCAM to legitimize the scandalous farce of the “Sustained Yield†liquidation/conversion scheme by which British Columbia’s forests are managed.
To work off the dreadful karmic load he has accumulated, he has become a tenacious primaeval forest protection activist and has confronted the industrial logging menace at numerous blockades, treesits and other non-violent civil disobedience actions. He believes that any further logging of Earth’s final primaeval forests is a despicable crime against nature. His particular focus is on the voracious depradations of the American logging giant, Weyerhaeuser.
Ingmar has travelled extensively in Asia since his first overland trip to India from Europe in 1977 at the age of 17. He has trekked throughout the Hindu Kush, Karakoram and Himalayan mountains, and has travelled far off the beaten path in Burma where he lived for a year. Ingmar is shocked and disgusted by the violent, ignorant and rapacious behaviour of the USA under the illegitimately “elected†fascist Neocon cabal of oiligarchs led by George W. Bush. He is equally ashamed by the USA-grovelling, quisling compliance of Canada’s newly elected Neocon government.
He is now living in Pondicherry, India.
