Background

Canada's Boreal forest is one of the largest tracts of ancient forest left in the world. Almost 80 per cent of the world's original forests has 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 forest ecosystem is industrial logging for the pulp used in tissue products. Greenpeace is working to stop the destruction of Canada's largest intact ecosystem by trying to persuade consumers, institutions and companies to choose to consume or produce more ancient forest friendly tissue products.
