This photo was added to the Nature Canada Flickr Group by Ashley. Called 'Majestic Cedar Trees', it was taken in the summer of 2009 at Bruce Peninsula Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada.

The world’s forests are essential to life on this planet, and home to the majority of the earth’s biodiversity. Since Canada is home to 10% of the world’s forests – forests cover half the Canadian landscape – Canadians have a key role to play in the global effort to conserve and sustainably manage forests.

As the “lungs of the earth”, forests absorb carbon dioxide, reducing the effects of climate change. Among other things, forests provide wildlife with a place to live, reduce sedimentation and regulate flooding, and help people reduce their energy consumption by shading buildings and screening winds.

Learn more about what we're doing to protect forests in this United Nations declared International Year of Forests.
