Overview
The Pew Trusts International Boreal Conservation Campaign's goal is to secure half of Canada's boreal forest in protected status. A key element of that work is implementation of an agreement with Canada's timber industry covering 170 million acres in five western provinces. The agreement has two goals: The identification of 40-70 million acres of protected lands necessary to ensure the survival of the woodland caribou and the transformation of Canada's timber industry into a sustainable enterprise. This grant would support Pew's efforts to help implement the forest agreement through protected area research, outreach to First Nations, coordinating strategy and work with other conservation organizations and the timber industry and securing positive media.
