I am interested in understanding the economic impact and employment opportunities related to old-growth forests in British Columbia, as well as specific areas that have been deferred from logging. First, complete the exploration of the 'Employment and economic values' section on the 'Old growth definitions and values' page. Then, navigate to the 'Deferral areas' page and identify the total area (in hectares) of old-growth forests deferred province-wide, and whether these deferrals are permanent.
On the current 'Old growth definitions and values' page, scroll down to fully reveal and read the 'Employment and economic values' section. Identify and extract any key economic or employment-related information from this section. Navigate to the 'Deferral areas' page using the 'More topics' sidebar (ID 253). On the 'Deferral areas' page, locate and extract the total area (in hectares) of old-growth forests deferred province-wide. Determine if the deferrals are described as permanent or temporary. Synthesize the economic and employment information, the total deferred area, and the permanency of the deferrals into a concise answer.
The agent successfully scrolls to reveal the entire 'Employment and economic values' section. The agent states key economic or employment information from the 'Employment and economic values' section (e.g., 'Old growth forests provide high-value timber for specialized products, supporting jobs in manufacturing and processing' or similar content related to economic benefits and employment). The agent successfully navigates to the 'Deferral areas' page. The agent states the total area of old-growth forests deferred province-wide (e.g., 'more than 2.1 million hectares'). The agent states whether the deferrals are described as permanent or temporary (e.g., 'temporary' or 'interim').
