Moose, caribou, lynx, bear and wolves depend on the wide Boreal expanses, while eagles, hawks, owls, geese and 30 per cent of North America’s songbirds and 40 per cent of its waterfowl nest in the forests and wetlands. In fact, nearly five billion birds migrate north to breed after wintering in warmer climates. Because of its immense size, the Boreal forest represents one of the best opportunities for conservation of large intact forests.
