Historic and ongoing loss to logging, development and mining extraction and exploration. We cannot afford to lose what little persists. Yet, the world's largest remaining old-growth red pine forest faces significant threats despite long-standing promises to protect it. Wolf Lake Forest Reserve is North America’s largest remaining old-growth red pine forest, but despite promises to protect it, it continues to be threatened and degraded. Join Ontario Nature and the Wolf Lake Coalition in urging the Government of Ontario to halt mining activities in Wolf Lake Forest Reserve and add the forest to Chiniguchi Waterway Provincial Park. This is a golden opportunity to fulfill a decades-old promise and protect a critically endangered ecosystem.
