Featured Panel: The Oil Sands, the Boreal Forest & Biodiversity from an Aboriginal Perspective

There’s no denying that oil sands development is having a tremendous impact on biodiversity in Western Canada. These rapid changes – to the land, the air, the water and the wildlife – are affecting Aboriginal peoples more than any other community in the country.

This panel will give voice to the concerns and first-hand experiences of Aboriginals communities affected by the oil sands. Panellists will discuss the impacts of industrial operations on biodiversity, the boreal forest and traditional ways of life, and offer solutions to bring peace to these environments and the people who live there.

2010 Theme: "Conserving Biodiversity Pays! The Values of Ecosystem Services"

In this, the International Year of Biodiversity, the RCEN's 2010 Conference is focusing on biodiversity across Canada and our planet. Biodiversity is the term given to the variety of life on Earth and the natural patterns it forms. It is this combination of life forms and their interactions with each other and with the rest of the environment that has made Earth a uniquely habitable place for humans. More
