The Boreal Forest Conservation Framework is a groundbreaking vision that promotes equal treatment of conservation and development across Canada's Boreal region.
The Framework calls for:
- protecting at least 50% of the region in a network of large interconnected protected areas, and
- supporting sustainable communities, world-leading ecosystem-based resource management practices, and state-of-the-art stewardship practices in the remaining landscape.

The Framework was developed by the Boreal Leadership Council (BLC), a partnership of leading conservation organizations, resource companies, and First Nations. Members of the BLC, convened by the Canadian Boreal Initiative, recognize that all who depend on the forest must come together to plan for its future. They have joined together in a revolutionary collaboration to promote the conservation and sustainable use of Canada's Boreal region.
More and more companies want the Boreal to be a place with a truly sustainable future: ecologically, culturally and economically. Read more about the Boreal, the Framework, and the companies that support it >
The following companies – worth a cumulative US$30.2 billion – have endorsed the Boreal Forest Conservation Framework and back its vision (BLC member businesses are designated with asterisks).
