Canada
Planting trees to restore habitats and empower communities.
REFORESTATION IN
Canada
Canada's forests span 347 million hectares, accounting for nearly 9% of the world's total forest cover. The country’s incredible natural wealth includes boreal forest, the Pacific coastline, and great lakes. Stretching across northern Canada, from the Yukon to Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada’s boreal zone is one of the world’s largest intact forest and wetland ecosystems. The country utilizes sustainable forest management to keep these ecologically priceless areas healthy and thriving.
Canada’s forests have been significantly impacted by forest fires in recent years — and in 2023 alone, a historic 7.8 million hectares were lost, releasing a whopping 3 billion tons of carbon dioxide. Its forests are also threatened by insect infestations like spruce budworm and mountain pine beetle, which damage trees and disrupt ecosystems. Timber harvesting and deforestation for urban expansion and agriculture also contribute to forest loss.
94%
OF FORESTS
About 94% of Canada’s forests are on publicly owned land.
28%
OF BOREAL ZONE
28% (552 million hectares) of the world’s boreal zone lies in Canada, affecting the health of the global environment.
80,000
species
Canada hosts around 80,000 species — over 300 of which are endemic.
70%
OF INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES
70% of Indigenous communities in Canada live in forested regions — and the boreal forest holds particular cultural and economic significance.
