Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement Caribou Dance

http://caribouandyou.ca - Bou the woodland caribou is dancing to celebrate the AWESOME news that after two years of negotiations, The Canadian Parks And Wilderness Society (CPAWS) and sister conservation organizations have reached an historic agreement with the Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC). CPAWS played a leadership role in achieving The Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement, which:

- covers over 70 million hectares of Canada's Boreal forest licensed to FPAC member companies across the country;

- commits these companies to world-leading sustainable forest management practices and conservation planning;

- focuses on protecting the Boreal woodland caribou's critical habitat; and

- is signed by CPAWS and eight other conservation organizations and 21 forestry companies represented by FPAC

70 million hectares protected!!! That's awesomer than a Tim Horton moccachino! No question, you've done major work to highlight the sensitivity of the Boreal Forest, its significance to Canada's entire ecological system, and the need to monitor and promote this national treasure.
