In Canada alone, the boreal forest (also called the taiga) covers more than 1.5 million square miles, fully one-third of the country and 20 percent of the entire North American continent. Terminating to the north with the treeless tundra, this region is inhabited and utilized by indigenous people and is home to unique populations of plants and animals found nowhere else on the planet. J. David Henry challenges the perception of the boreal forest as an "economic wasteland" by explaining how economically and ecologically valuable it is. He begins by answering some common questions about the region and explains its intricate geology. An in-depth examination follows of three factors that play an enormous role in shaping the complex life of the boreal forest: snow, forest fires, and peatlands. Henry looks at the dynamics of the region's vegetation and the evolution of its animals, and discusses the fascinating ten-year predator-prey cycle of snowshoe hares and Canadian lynx, one of the most famous examples of ecological interconnection. In Canada's boreal forest, loggers have clear cut an area the size of Great Britain. The final portion of the book examines initiatives from Scandinavia and Finland in order to offer alternatives to large-scale logging and mining, suggesting how humans can live and work in the boreal forest in a sustainable and responsible manner.

This report examines the state of the boreal forest in Canada, the threats to its survival, and options available to define and modify the human impact on the forest. The report draws on advice and experience of various interested parties, the Swedish and Finnish experience in intensive forest management, and testimony at public hearings. After an introduction, chapter 2 examines ecological realities of the Canadian boreal forest, including effects of climate change, the current state of boreal forests, forestry and silvicultural practices, pulp mills and pollution, wood supply and the harvesting rate, and protected areas. Chapter 3 covers Aboriginal forestry issues, including traditional land use, forestry business and employment opportunities, and jurisdictional issues. Chapter 4 discusses the economic aspects of forestry in Canada, including employment, trade, forest industry sales, and forest-related tourism. Chapter 5 discusses the global context and the concept of certification of sustainably managed forests. The final chapter reaches conclusions regarding the need for distinct areas or categories of boreal forest management.

This report presents the findings & recommendations of the Boreal Forest Program, established to examine how to advance conservation in balance with economic activity on public lands allocated for resource development in Canada's boreal forest area. After an introduction on the Program and the research approach for this report, section 2 outlines the ecological, economic, & social importance of Canada's boreal area and considers international & domestic trends affecting its future. Section 3 identifies opportunities for governance action by governments, industry, Aboriginal & community groups, and civil society organizations under four interrelated policy areas to promote conservation in the boreal in balance with economic development, and summarizes the debate on these key issues. The final section presents a set of observations on the Program findings.

In concert with the members of the council, the CBI created and launched the Boreal Forest Conservation Framework - a vision for the protection and sustainable development of Canada's entire Boreal ecosystem. [...] The Framework's goal is to conserve the natural, cultural and sustainable economic values of the Boreal region by protecting about half of the region in a comprehensive network of protected areas and promoting world-leading industrial practices on the remainder of the landscape where appropriate. [...] The southern fringe includes the mixed forests of the southern Boreal shield in the east and Boreal forest-prairie-parkland habitats in the west. [...] In the northern Boreal region is the taiga, an ecological crossroads between the forests to the south and the tundra to the north. [...] Although many Aboriginal people continue to about lumberjacks, Mounties, dogsled rely on the Boreal forest for their cultural and economic survival, teams, snowmobiles, hockey on a frozen most have not benefited from the development of its natural pond, the howl of the wolf and the cry of the resources, which accounts for billions of dollars of revenue and a loon?

A unique look at the boreal forest, Earth’s vast and vital wilderness. The boreal forest, the planet’s largest land biome, spans the northern regions like “a scarf around the neck of the world.” Besides providing homes for many species, the forest’s influence is far-reaching: its trees and wetlands clean our air and water and are helping slow global climate change. In this evocative tour, a lyrical fictional narrative is paired with informational sidebars that describe life in the forest throughout the year, from one country to another. One of the world’s most magnificent regions comes to vivid life through the art of storytelling.

The Montreal Process was formed to advance the development of internationally agreed-upon criteria & indicators for sustainable forest management. The Canadian commitment to this process is demonstrated by the development of a domestic set of seven criteria & indicators, six of this relate to forest conditions, attributes, functions, or benefits. The seventh relates to the overall policy framework that can facilitate sustainable forest management and support efforts to conserve, maintain, or enhance the conditions, attributes, and benefits captured in the first six criteria. This report begins with an introduction describing forest ecosystems and forest management in Canada, explaining the area of forest covered by the report, and indentifying Canada-specific forest management characteristics to help place the criteria & indicators framework in context. The main section contains reports on the criteria, each with an introduction and reports on the corresponding indicators (what is being measured, indicator data or factual description, information sources). The final section contains a summary of all the criteria as well as an overview of Canada's ability to report on them and plans to enhance reporting capability in the future. Includes glossary.

Excerpt: Taiga (; Russian: IPA: from Turkic or Mongolian), also known as boreal forest, is a biome characterized by coniferous forests consisting mostly of pines, spruces and larches. The taiga is the world's largest terrestrial biome. In North America it covers most of inland Canada and Alaska as well as parts of the extreme northern continental United States (northern Minnesota through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to Upstate New York and northern New England) and is known as the Northwoods. In Eurasia, it covers most of Sweden, Finland, much of Norway, lowland/coastal areas of Iceland, much of Russia from Karelia in the west to the Pacific ocean (including much of Siberia), and areas of northern Kazakhstan, northern Mongolia, and northern Japan (on the island of Hokkaid ). However, the main tree species, the length of the growing season and summer temperatures vary. For example, the taiga of North America consists of mainly spruces; Scandinavian and Finnish taiga consists of a mix of spruce, pines and birch; Russian taiga has spruces, pines and larches depending on the region, the Eastern...
