HELP TO SAVE CANADA'S BOREAL FOREST!
If Canada's ill-advised plan to start logging up to 3 million acres of untouched forest surrounding the Broadback River in northern Quebec moves forward, it will destroy some of the last remaining habitat for endangered wildlife.
Logging here will also threaten critical freshwater supplies; and release vast amounts of climate-warming carbon pollution into the atmosphere. It would also cut into the ancestral heartland of the Waswanipi Cree First Nation, which has adamantly opposed this proposal.
I urge you to reject destructive plans to build logging access roads that would pierce into the heart of the Broadback River watershed and literally pave the way for logging up to 3 million acres of untouched forest surrounding the Broadback River in northern Quebec. If this ill-advised plan moves forward, it will also destroy some of the last remaining habitat for endangered wildlife, including the endangered woodland caribou, which your government has pledged for years to protect; threaten critical freshwater supplies; and release vast amounts of climate-warming carbon pollution into the atmosphere. It would also cut into the ancestral heartland of the Waswanipi Cree First Nation, which has adamantly opposed this proposal. Please avert this environmental catastrophe and protect the Broadback River valley's unspoiled wilderness by denying this reckless proposal. Thank you.
