Greenpeace activists stage a protest in front of the Quebec Legislature demanding protection for the Boreal Forest on Wednesday, Jan.31, 2007 in Quebec City, Canada.

Canada's boreal forest is still largely intact ecologically. It is one of the earth's largest remaining intact natural regions. Abundant wildlife, including some of the world's largest populations of caribou, bears, wolves and lynx are present here. It provides the summer range for one third of North America's songbirds and three fourths of its waterfowl. The Boreal Forest Conservation Framework promotes conservation of the entire boreal region. If the framework is acted upon, it will position Canada as a world leader in forest and wetlands conservation and management.

綠色和平活躍人士2007年1月31日在加拿大魁北克市議會前抗議示威，他們要求保護北方森林。

加拿大的北方森林大半生態仍保持完整，是地球上僅存占地最大完好無損的天然地區之一。這裡有無數野生物，包括世上最大族群的北美馴鹿、熊、狼和 山貓。北美三分之一鳴禽和四分之三水鳥夏天也在這片山脈棲息。北方森林保育架構提倡保育整片北方林區，這個架構如能落實，將可使加拿大成為世界森林和濕地保育和管理的先驅。圖／美聯社
