Nearly 400 bird species rely on the boreal for nesting or migration. Each year up to 5 billion birds fly south. They eat insects, spread seeds, and delight bird watchers across the hemisphere.

Delays in the signing of the Nunavut Land Use Plan has led to "unguided development that is harming Inuit harvesting and conservation interests" according to the Friends of Land Use Planning. #Arctic
Tiny bird, huge journey! The Blackpoll Warbler breeds in northern forests, some flying nonstop over water for 72+ hours on their way to South America.

For #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, look north! Nearly 400 bird species rely on North America’s Boreal Forest for nesting or migratory habitat, making it one of the planet’s most important bird nurseries. Protecting the boreal protects birds across North America.

Audubon's work to address climate change & biodiversity loss is powered by partnerships. In Canada, for example, Audubon collaborates with Indigenous governments & organizations on some of the largest conservation initiatives in the world. Happy #EarthDay! https://t.co/X34u6eJFl1
Great news! A proposal from First Nations, the Government of Canada, and the Manitoba government–years in the making–was just released, outlining a collaborative approach to protect one of the largest intact watersheds left on the planet. 🙌
What a truly historic moment as this proposed Indigenous Protected Area takes another huge step towards permanently protecting the globally important Seal River Watershed!
We don’t own the land. The land owns us.
Together with the Dënesųłiné, the Ininew, and our federal partners, we’re protecting the Seal River Watershed — one of the last intact ecosystems on Earth — through a nation-to-nation-to-nation approach.
Today, that means a $4 million endowment to protect these lands and waters for generations.
Because in Manitoba, growing our economy and protecting our environment go hand in hand.
Notice that little warbler with the streaked breast and constant tail bobbing? It’s the Northern Waterthrush, one of the unique birds that depends on the Boreal Forest. #borealbirds see more on this FB post with @Borealconserve

Happy to see Canada’s financial commitment to advance the Seal River Watershed Indigenous Protected Area in Manitoba & the Wiinipaakw Indigenous Protected Area and National Marine Conservation Area in Eastern James Bay as part of their new nature strategy! https://t.co/OR4DgjkZlO
🦆 The Bufflehead (with a rounded “buffalo” head) routinely dives 10–20+ feet for insects and crustaceans!
Requiring clean water & ancient forests, when you see a bufflehead, you know the ecosystem is still healthy.
