Failure to change logging practices and protect Ontario's intact Boreal Forest will dangerously accelerate climate change according to our new report, "Robbing the Carbon Bank". The report exposes the impacts of logging Ontario's intact Boreal Forest on global warming and is expected to increase pressure on the Ontario government to deliver on its promise of protecting the Boreal. It's critical they set aside key areas of Boreal Forest as both carbon storehouses as well as habitat of critical declining species such as caribou.

Sierra Chainsaw Massacre

We're exposing the scary truth taking place every day in the Sierra Nevada forests. Sierra Pacific Industries (SPI), the largest private landowner in the Sierra Nevada--and the single greatest destroyer of its forests--has clearcut hundreds of thousands of acres of both public and private land, and they have plans to clearcut over a million more. There are more sustainable ways to log, but SPI persists in its destructive ways. But you can help! Join us in April on Friday the 13th for a Day of Action to stop the "Sierra Chainsaw Massacre." Sign-up for our Day of Action.
