Greenpeace Withdraws From Boreal Forest Agreement

Greenpeace is withdrawing from an agreement signed by several forest companies to stay clear of critical habitat areas in the Boreal Forest.

The environmental group claims Resolute Forest Products, one of the signatories to the Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement, is violating the deal in the Quebec area.

It's released a number of photos of new logging roads and clear cutting in areas previously identified as being off limits.
