Nearly a dozen environmental groups are calling on the federal government to expand its review of Canada's forestry sector emissions, saying the current scope fails to address their concerns about underreporting.
Nearly a dozen environmental groups are calling on the federal government to expand its review of Canada's forestry sector emissions, saying the current scope fails to address their concerns about underreporting.
The letter, signed by representatives from 11 environmental groups including Nature Canada, says the review's scope undermines its credibility. In response to that report, the government agreed that independent review was important but noted that the science underlying its carbon reporting was peer-reviewed.
"It doesn't make logical sense because there's no human intervention. In terms of the regrowth of these trees, it's totally natural. There's no real justification for counting and crediting the logging sector with that,' said Michael Polanyi, a policy and campaign manager with Nature Canada.
