In Valérie's own words
“The Canadian boreal in particular is the largest intact forest in the world.”“North America’s boreal is the birthplace of between three and five billion birds every year.”“One is that we are able to regain as much of the wording and decision-making over our lands and waters as possible.”Where Valérie works
