Resolute Forest Products comments on Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement
May 21st, 2013 | Posted in Woodlands | No comments »
Resolute Forest Products expressed the company’s disappointment that negotiations under the auspices of the Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement (CBFA) have broken down after three years of collaborative efforts.
Parties were unable to reach mutual agreement on a workable plan to jointly further conservation efforts while balancing environmental, social and economic considerations in the Canadian boreal forest.
The CBFA was signed by members of the Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC), including Resolute, and a group of environmental organizations to establish a common framework to further support boreal conservation efforts while safeguarding the livelihood of thousands of citizens in communities that depend on healthy working forests.
No new brown spruce longhorn beetles have been found in New Brunswick since the single adult beetle was found in Kouchibouguac National Park in 2011.
