The Boreal Forest of North America is the summer breeding ground for over 300 species of birds we see regularly in urban Canada and the U.S., including sparrows, warblers, woodpeckers, and the endangered Whooping Crane. Now, these birds and our environment are under threat. International oil companies are on a fast track to construct oil and gas pipelines through the Boreal Forest ・the last unspoiled forest on Earth.

These pipelines will fuel the Alberta Tar Sands, the dirtiest oil extraction process on Earth, which produces 3 times as much greenhouse gas as conventional oil production, accelerating global warming.

We need to ensure that critical habitat is protected before these pipelines are built, or our birds and our environment will suffer greatly. We also need to put the brakes on Tar Sands pollution!Runaway energy development will destroy forest habitat for millions of migratory birds and release vast amounts of stored carbon into the atmosphere. We are at risk of losing this pristine wilderness forever. Canadian officials have proposals in front of them right now to protect the Boreal Forest. Send a letter today urging them to protect the Boreal and put a moratorium on Tar Sands expansion before any pipeline is built!
