I understand what you said, that they need to be engaged, but as you listed out the partners in the Boreal Forest Initiative, those communities were conspicuous by their absence. I strongly recommend that they be respected for their contributions, their presence in the boreal forest, and that their influence be felt.
Ms. Granskou, you talked about balancing development and protection, and that sounds like a zero-sum game. Having been in the forest industry in the past...you take a working forest and the second growth that comes up can be a treasure trove of biodiversity and ecosystem services. Do you think development and conservation are mutually exclusive?
