Not All Environmentalists Happy

At least one environmental group remains unhappy with recent efforts to protect the Boreal forest.

Earthroots thinks more needs to be done even though 21 forest companies have agreed to stop logging in 29-million hectares of the forest.

Spokesperson David Stone says it's not time to back down.

"We're still very concerned that clear cut logging is continuing," says Stone. "Most of Ontario forests are being logged at a rate that's very unsustainable and doesn't leave enough to protect the clean water and clean air that we depend on."

AbitibiBowater says the deal won't have an impact on its ability to access fibre for the Fort Frances mill.
