The Boreal Forest in Canada stretches westward from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to Alaska. It is an astonishing wilderness over 12 times the size of California. Holding more freshwater than anywhere else on the planet, it plays an essential role in cleaning the air that we breathe. Most of the Boreal is the traditional territory of Canada's aboriginal peoples, and a critical habitat for bears, wolves, the threatened woodland caribou. It is also being destroyed at a rate of 2 acres per day. Why are logging companies like Weyerhaeuser clear-cutting indigenous ancestral homelands? Because American companies like Victoria's Secret buy their timber to make catalogs in order to sell underwear. Footage courtesy of Joshua Martin.
