Canadian Boreal Initiative CBI (a.k.a.: L'Initiative borale canadienne IBC)

The Canadian Boreal Initiative is working with a wide range of conservation organizations, First Nations, industry and other interested parties to link science, policy and conservation activities in Canada`s boreal forest. On December 1, 2003 the CBI released the Boreal Forest Conservation Framework - the most extensive national conservation vision ever. The Framework was developed in concert with leading conservation organizations, resource companies and First Nations. Convened by the Canadian Boreal Initiative, this group forms the Boreal Leadership Council, committed to the conservation and sustainable development of Canada`s boreal forest region.
