The Boreal Forest was also the focus of a 2007 video created by noted journalist Gary Strieker for Assignment Earth. The video features the Mackenzie River Watershed, a pristine part of the Boreal under threat by the proposed Mackenzie Gas Pipeline, an 800-mile pipeline that will fuel the Alberta Tar Sands, Earth's dirtiest oil extraction project – also located in the Boreal Forest.
