With newly protected boreal forest, the caribou are smiling http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1274307938
Two old foes in Canada have made peace to conserve some of the world's most precious natural resources. The Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement, signed by most of the Canadian forestry industry and environmental activists, is nothing less than historic. It will result in a real and internationally significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, and it serves as a model of non-governmental co-operation.
The agreement commits all participating companies (which cover some 70 per cent of Canada's boreal forest) to the most advanced sustainability practices in forestry: practices that "start with the science" and make the protection of species-at-risk paramount.
Canada's woodland caribou, and other less photogenic species that traverse the boreal forest, are among the greatest beneficiaries.
