Re: “Forestry has finally been recognized as a climate polluter: now what?” . The recent opinion piece by Nature Canada’s campaign manager Michael Polanyi is wantonly misleading and ignores significant aspects of sustainable forest management, and the vital role that Canada’s forests play in the global fight against climate change. On behalf of Canada’s 200,000-plus forest sector workers and the communities they call home, we believe it is important to set the record straight.
As Canada enters another wildfire season, who better to help us manage growing fire risks than Canada’s foresters? These are the professionals who maintain forest health and enhance carbon storage by ensuring that forests continue to serve as valuable carbon reservoirs and wildlife habitats, even as they face increasing threats from climate change impacts including wildfire, pests, and disease outbreaks.
