Canada’s boreal forest contains critical habitat for many threatened and endangered species—including boreal caribou, wolverines, and grizzly bears—and serves as the nesting grounds for billions of North America’s birds. Every year, that habitat shrinks by more than one million acres when the forest is clearcut by the oil, gas, mining, and logging industries. We must band together to help protect this important land and the species that call it home. Take action: http://on.nrdc.org/2zYti8r | NRD
