Petition to the Minister of Science
- Our wild forests built Canada as a nation and in principle are renewable;
- Climate change is threatening survival of our forests;
- Canada's forests comprise numerous tree species each having distinct geographic provenances;
- Each tree has a unique set of survival tolerances intrinsic to the species and provenance;
- The physiological basis for intrinsic survival fitness remains rudimentary for all tree species and provenances;
- Advancing scientific knowledge about intrinsic survival fitness of our trees will ensure that Canada has a future in forestry; and
- Continuing existence of a life-supporting biosphere depends on survival of forests.
