Accelerated resource development in Canada should not burden future generations with environmental destruction.

Satellites used satellite sensors to identify the 0.01% ‘most extreme’ fires worldwide.
Research shows that the distribution of temperate hardwoods (sugar maple, red maple and yellow birch) could be shifting northward, which would have serious consequences for the boreal forest.
How will Earth’s vast boreal forests look in a warmer world? Combining satellite-based research with fieldwork shows that the planet’s largest wilderness may be changing in unexpected ways.
A better understanding of the interactions between the boreal forest and snow will make it possible to improve hydrological models and ensure optimal management of the resource.
Some boreal plant species are classified — and treated — as weeds, affecting Indigenous communities’ access to important cultural, medicinal and ceremonial resources.
A longer growing season for trees, due to global warming, does not necessarily lead to an increase in wood production.
Human activities can affect plants and have consequences for the human populations that consume them.
The remoteness and small size of old-growth boreal trees should not make us forget their high ecological importance and the many threats they face.
The rapidly changing climate presents many challenges for the sustainability of forest ecosystems. Assisting the migration of trees is a tool to address these challenges.
