Canadian Forests

Forests of Canada

Canada has 20% of the world's forests and 10% of its fresh water. Since forests clean our water there is an even greater responsibility for us to protect our forests.

 Our forests also clean our air, provides habitats to 2/3 of our wildlife, prevent soil erosion, and increase the value of our land.

 Protection of our forests is very important lest our water, air, species, and our people suffer. First they must be protected on a federal level since they own 23% of all public forests and then on a provincial level as they own 71% of public forests. If our governments work together they are able to protect 94% of Canada's forests. Finally every Canadian citizen has a responsibility to their land and to protect Urban, Rural, and wilderness forests.

 Though we have 417.6 million hectares of forests pest, diseases, pollution, and logging have begun to quickly reduce this coverage. Fortunately in the past few years governmental and non-governmental organization has been established to reverse this pattern.
