Long-running discussions have led to the protection and sustainable use of over 72 million hectares to be included in what will become the largest commercial forest conservation agreement, the Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement (CBFA). Bringing together the 21 member companies of Forest Products Association of Canada and nine environmental groups, the CBFA suspends new logging and road building on almost 29 million hectares of boreal forest.“The Canadian boreal forest is well on its way to becoming the world’s most protected forest landscape”, said Steve Kallick of Pew Environment Group, which he affirmed that Canada is quietly becoming a world leader in forest conservation.</blockquote>
