Did you know? The Boreal Forest in Canada has more surface freshwater than any other ecosystem on the planet. Millions of lakes, thousands of kilometres of unbroken river systems, and a quarter of the world’s wetlands — taken together, these fresh, clean waters contain over 80,000,000 hectares of freshwater and nourish an entire continent-wide landscape of plants, animals, and communities. | Boreal Conservation

That’s equivalent of up to 36 years of global carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels.

Research has shown that nature-based climate solutions, like Indigenous Protected & Conserved Areas, can provide over one-third of the carbon emissions reductions we need to meet the goals laid out in the Paris Agreement. Indigenous-led conservation initiatives do this by protecting large, intact forests and ecosystems, which combats climate change naturally. | Boreal Conservation | Facebook
