Abstract

The article discusses Canada's Boreal Forest Agreement (BFA) announced in May 2010 and controversy regarding the outcomes that may be realized from it. The BFA reportedly is designed to conserve vast areas of Canadian forest land, reinvigorate Canada's timber industry, and protect woodland caribou. Environmental conditions in Canada's boreal forest are discussed. The BFA is said to accommodate collaboration among timber harvesting companies, scientists, and environmentalists for conservation of caribou habitat.
