Count on me to be a Boreal Watchdog

The ink is drying on what could be the largest conservation initiative in history. ForestEthics and eight other environmental organizations have just signed a historic agreement with the Canadian forest industry to conserve our precious Boreal Forest. It starts with a total moratorium on logging across more than 29 million hectares (71 million acres) over the next three years.

Developing lasting protection proposals for the Boreal Forest, woodland caribou, and our climate will take everyone on board. Will you sign up to become a Boreal Watchdog and let leaders of the Canadian forestry industry know the world is watching this agreement?

TAKE ACTION NOW

Your Letter:

To Whom It May Concern,

I'm writing to celebrate the historic accord between the environmental community and the forest industry that will conserve Canada's majestic Boreal Forest, with a focus on creating new protected areas, recovering woodland caribou populations, and taking action on climate change.

This agreement has the potential to transform Canadian forestry into a truly green and prosperous industry. Thank you for your leadership and commitment to this important initiative.

I have taken ForestEthics' "watchdog pledge" and am committed to keep up to date on progress relating to the agreement. The public has a stake in Canada's Boreal Forest. The Boreal Forest:
	
* is the largest source of fresh water on the planet,
* is an important carbon storehouse, and
* provides critical habitat to species at risk.

I will be paying close attention to the implementation of the agreement over the next three years and will look forward to the completion of conservation milestones.

Sincerely,

David Paterson
