| NRDC Issues Boreal BioGem Alert | 26 January 06 |
 Manitoba's Premier is again being asked by the Natural Resources Defense Council to act immediately on requests for interim protection for boreal forest lands central to the future boreal World Heritage Site in Manitoba and Ontario, Canada. In January 2006 an updated alert was issued, addressed to Manitoba Premier Doer. Previous NRDC BioGem alerts in support of interim protection for these lands resulted in 60,000 letters to Manitoba Conservation Minister Struthers.Manitoba cabinet ministers, and Premier Doer have repeatedly stated their support for the future World Heritage Site. The Atikaki-Woodland Caribou First Nations world heritage site nomination is also supported by Canada, and endorsed in a 2004 World Conservation Congress boreal conservation resolution.
