Our Vision
Our vision for the northern boreal forest is a system of large interconnected areas that provide permanent protection for the regions full range of natural and cultural values and features. Any development activities in this region must meet world-class resource management standards. They must provide long-term benefits to communities while retaining the intact natural character of this globally important boreal region.
The Framework describes a conservation vision for the boreal forest. The Frameworks goal is protecting at least 50% of the boreal forest region in a system of parks and protected areas with a commitment to best practices in resource development on the remaining portion
