Matchfunding saves world's largest temperate rainforest

Non-profits matched $46 million (USD) in federal and provincial funds to save British Colombia’s Great Bear Rainforest, the largest temperate rainforest left on earth, from widespread deforestation. By bringing together an unprecedented coalition of loggers, residents, government bodies and philanthropic foundations, it has protected 85% of the forest. Some First Nations territories, however continue to face the threat of logging.
