The Wilderness Committee fights against the "bulldoze first and ask questions later" mindset regarding conservation efforts in the bio-diverse, boreal forests of Manitoba. Government and industry plan to expand logging roads, which would increase commerce, thus negatively affecting ecosystems in the forests as well as defying First Nation policies. This report gives an overview of the issues and what needs to be done to protect more wilderness in Manitoba.
