The Boreal Forest is one of the most important carbon storehouses on earth (Canadian Forest Service, 2013). Pimachowin Aki sequesters carbon in deep organic soils, peatlands and intact forests. There is more freshwater in the Canadian Boreal Forest than any other place on earth (Ducks Unlimited Canada, 2008). Much of this is found in wetlands, which play a vital role in water filtration, flood and drought control.
