Save the Boreal Forest

Canada's Boreal forest is one of the largest tracts of ancient forest left in the world. Almost 80 per cent of the Earth's original forests have already been degraded or completely destroyed, making the protection of our Boreal forest all the more important.
One of the major threats to Canada's Boreal ecosystem is clearcut logging to make disposable products such as toilet paper and facial tissue. Greenpeace is working to stop the destruction of Canada's largest intact ecosystem by trying to persuade consumers, institutions and companies to choose ancient forest friendly tissue products- ones made from 100 per cent recycled content.

End the Destruction of Canada's Boreal Forest

Logging companies are clearcutting Canada's Boreal Forest - destroying one of the planet's last ancient forests. Three of the largest companies involved in this destruction are AbitibiBowater. They are wiping out the last intact areas of the Boreal Forest and trashing habitat of threatened wildlife. They are involved ongoing conflicts with First Nations communities and practicing some of the most destructive logging around.

Take action and tell the CEO of AbitibiBowater that Canada's forests are not disposable
