About a fourth of the natural forests worldwide are located in Canada. The forests are not only valuable for carbon storage, they are also a integral part of wildlife habitat, which means Canada has a big role to play in climate change and deforestation. The forests in the Chilcotin Ark are very diverse and the most important species are Douglas and sub-alpine fir, Lodgepole, White bark and Ponderosa pine, Western and Mountain Hemlock and a variety of Spruce, Willow, Cedar, Birch and Aspen.
