Just how many trees call the boreal home? A million? A billion? Watch to see the true scale of the largest intact forest on Earth and why protecting it matters now more than ever. More at www.borealconservation.org/intact-forest | Boreal Conservation

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

Did you know? The Boreal Forest in Canada has more surface freshwater than any other ecosystem on the planet. Millions of lakes, thousands of kilometres of unbroken river systems, and a quarter of the world’s wetlands — taken together, these fresh, clean waters contain over 80,000,000 hectares of freshwater and nourish an entire continent-wide landscape of plants, animals, and communities. | Boreal Conservation

About 12% of the world’s land-based carbon reserves—equivalent to up to 36 years’ worth of global fossil fuels emissions—is stored in the soils, peatlands & wetlands of the Boreal Forest in Canada, which means it’s an incredibly important nature-based climate solution. Here’s how we can protect the boreal and ALSO protect the planet from climate change. | Boreal Conservation

Canada’s Boreal Forest alone holds about 12 percent of the world’s land-based carbon reserves. That’s equivalent of up to 36 years of global carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels.
