Abstract/Summary:
This report highlights the unique status of the Canadian boreal forest in housing globally significant water resources. Maintaining the integrity and abundance of this “forest of blue” is still possible, and increasingly urgent. The report explores the ever-expanding list of threats to remote and abundant water resources across the Canadian boreal, and identifies opportunities to protect water resources at geographic scales that will maintain freshwater integrity and abundance into the future.
