A(n) transnational / cosmopolitan / international / universal group of 23 biology and conservation scientists is calling on the provincial governments and Ottawa to forever prevent / shut out / avoid / check the development of at least 50 per cent of the boreal forest that spans the Canadian north.
The Boreal Conservation Science Panel, made up of scientific heavyweights from Canada, the United States, Australia and Great Britain, will present a paper on Monday at the world International Congress of Conservation Biology in Baltimore that says the boreal’s value as a carbon store, fresh water source, and wildlife apartment / habitation / habitat / settlement is crucial to global ecology.
Although 80 per cent of the boreal is intact, only 10 per cent of the 1.2 billion acres of forest, tundra, peat lands, rivers and lakes is protected. The new report, a copy of which was оccupied / gathered / obtained / saved by The Globe and Mail, says the ‘rules and regulations for managing industrial extraction of resources in Canada’s boreal forest have not kept pace with the rapidly expanding footprint of industrial activities and plans.’
The boreal contains the world’s best / top / highest / most densities of terrestrial carbon stores, has the largest surface of fresh water, is the nesting place for billions of song birds, and is home to viable populations of animals like caribou, grizzly bear, lynx and wolf.
‘The boreal forest overall has an overriding potential influence on the global climate, marine productivity, the wildlife in the case of birds that move across / go across / pass over / meet the entire hemisphere. So it actually has a huge influence on the rest of the world,’ said Jeff Wells, the science and policy director for the Boreal Songbird Initiative and one of the authors of the report.
The science indicates that no less than half of the region should be protected from development, Dr. Wells said. ‘The exact specifics as to how to load / to pack / to parcel / to bundle that out across different regions and so forth is beyond the scope of what we talked about in the report and obviously would need to be figured out by people working in those regions. But that is the basic overarching guidance.’
It is not the first pitch of this sort. Back in 2007, the International Boreal Conservation Campaign of the Pew Charitable Trusts also argued for expanding the protected area, saying it was one of the world’s five remaining regions that help preserve the global environmental balance.
