The federal government’s recently released annual report on forests continues to mask the true state of forest degradation in Canada and fails to measure the climate impacts of industrial logging, a group of leading environmental organizations said today.
Forests in Canada are far more degraded and under threat than the federal government acknowledges. As was the case with its previous reports, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) paints a misleading picture of forests’ health and sustainability, and fails to hold the logging industry accountable for its impacts on climate, biodiversity and forest communities.
