Description

Often called the lungs of the earth, forests help clean our air and regulate the climate. Forests filter our water, provide raw materials, recreation and inspiration. However, poor logging practices and planning threaten the future of our forests and wild lands.

The David Suzuki Foundation forests program focuses on promoting sustainable logging and land-use practices in Canada’s west coast temperate rainforests, and northern boreal forests.
