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 | Facebook

Canada's Boreal Forest is the largest intact forest left on the planet, which means it matters to all of us -- from climate change to biodiversity, here are just a few reasons to conserve it. #NationalForestWeek | Boreal Conservation

One doesn’t have to look far to realize that the Boreal Forest, isn’t just a forest of green…it’s also a forest of blue. Home to nearly 80 million hectares of ‘bodies’ of water, the boreal in Canada has more surface freshwater than any other ecosystem on the planet. Together, wetlands, lakes, rivers, and streams connect to form a vast network that nourishes a continent-wide system of plants, animals, communities, and people – just like you. | Boreal Conservation
