We hear about efforts to regrow rainforests and look into concerns about fish farm monitoring

Program Title: Terra Informa 8-02: Growing Rainforests in Australia and Keeping an Eye on BC Fish Farms
Description: A variety of concerns have been raised over fish farms, from their use of pesticides and antibiotics to their potential to spread disease to wild fish. Today we speak to Randy Christensen, a lawyer with EcoJustice, about problems with government monitoring of fish farms and what he'd like to see done. Then we go all the way to Australia for an interview with Jim Tedder to hear about the work he's been doing to begin re-establishing rainforests in areas of the country that have been logged. And of course we kick things off with a wrap up of the week's news headlines.
