ASSESSMENT: WHERE ARE WE TODAY?Canopy, Greenpeace and ForestEthics remain committed to improving the long-term health of the BorealForest. We will continue working to deliver real change on the ground in the Boreal.What we are committed to achieving:• Approximately 50-70% of the Boreal forest under management will be conserved through legislationand regulation, based on today’s leading conservation science; 2• Populations of threatened species such as woodland caribou and other key species including grizzlybear, wolverine, wood bison and whooping crane will be recovered and viable;• A terrestrial carbon storehouse will be secured for years to come;• On Boreal forestland not dedicated for conservation, forestry practices will be based on ecosystembased management principles, building from the FSC Boreal Standard.• Boreal Forest communities will prosper and aboriginal treaty rights and traditional territories will berespected.MOVING FORWARD: COLLABORATION IS THE KEYGreenpeace, ForestEthics and Canopy all have long histories of collaborating to secure meaningfulconservation outcomes and lasting certainty in Canada’s forests. We are keenly aware of issues of efficiencyand the importance of measuring results as they relate to these processes.We look forward to our success being informed by jointly commissioned science to answer the toughquestions like “How much is enough?” and what are the drivers and factors defining forest company success.The Boreal Forest urgently needs increased permanent protection and more sustainable management. Inthe coming months, it is critical that a more efficient pathway is created for the realization of the win-winopportunities the Agreement describes.2 Final conservation outcomes should be grounded in jointly undertaken conservation and socio-economic science.Jiri Rezac / Greenpeace
