Canada has made an agreement to protect forests. This agreement will protect two thirds of Canada’s forest that is 72 million hectares and will bring a commercial gain. The area they will protect is two times the size of Germany. The amount of trees that in the protected area are equivalent to the trees those were lost from 1990 to 2005. It is called Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement. According to Steve Kallick, the director of Pew's International Boreal Conservation Campaign said this is the largest commercial forest conservation plan ever. They’re going to see if wildlife, especially caribou is affected positively by this change. This agreement could be an example for future forest agreement in other parts of the world.
Our opinion about this article is that we think as well as the company of the “Forest Products Association of Canada”. We think that the forests in Canada should be treated well such as their community. In order to do that, they should ban factories that are build in forests and as well as woodcutters. It also will prevent that the animals not being at danger of extinction. At last, we think that keeping a nice natural resource also reflects a very nice country.
