In an increasingly industrialized world, Canada's Boreal Forest is a breath of fresh air - literally. This forest ecosystem filled with lakes and wetlands moderates our climate, produces oxygen and purifies the water we drink. It is the source of life for many First Nations communities and home to thousands of species of animals, birds, plants and insects. It is an ecosystem of astonishing power.
