Stretching from Yukon to Newfoundland and Labrador, the boreal forest makes up 55 per cent of Canada’s land mass. It is home to hundreds of Indigenous communities, 300 bird species and 85 mammal species, including the iconic woodland caribou. That home is now at risk due to resource extraction, which is fracturing the land. It's worth protecting. 🌳❤️ | David Suzuki Foundation

In a world that has lost 80 percent of its original forests, Canada’s Boreal Forest is one of the last strongholds of wild nature left on the planet. It holds more intact forest landscape—large, natural ecosystems unbroken by roads or other human intervention—than any place on Earth. With the world’s forests disappearing, conserving the boreal is one of the last opportunities to protect something BIG. #InternationalForestDay | Boreal Conservation
