The boreal forest of Canada, also known as the taiga, is one of the world's largest and most vital ecosystems, spanning approximately 60% of the country’s land area. This vast biome stretches from Newfoundland and Labrador in the east to the Yukon in the west, forming a critical buffer against climate change by storing immense amounts of carbon in its soils and trees. Characterized by coniferous trees like spruce, pine, and fir, along with wetlands, rivers, and lakes, it supports a rich diversity of wildlife, including moose, wolves, bears, and migratory birds. The boreal forest is also of immense cultural and economic importance, providing livelihoods for many communities, including Indigenous Peoples, who have sustainably stewarded the land for thousands of years.
