  Boreas
  The Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) is a large-scale international interdisciplinary experiment in the northern boreal forests of Canada. Its goal is to improve our understanding of the boreal forests -- how they interact with the atmosphere, how much CO2 they can store, and how climate change will affect them. BOREAS wants to learn to use satellite data to monitor the forests, and to improve computer simulation and weather models so scientists can anticipate the effects of global change.

  Canadian Heritage River Systems
  The first Canadian Heritage River to be designated was the French (1986). Today, 28 rivers from across Canada are included in the System, totalling over 6000km. These rivers range from the Arctic barrens to southern Ontario's farmlands, from Newfoundland's rocky hills to the western mountains and glaciers of the Pacific The CHRS's goal is to establish a system of Canadian Heritage Rivers that reflects the diversity of Canada's river environments and celebrates the role of rivers in Canada's history and society. The dream is to ensure that rivers in Canada flow into the future, pure and unfettered as they have since the melting of the vast Pleistocene ice sheets.

  Insectia
  Produced to the highest standard of scientific film making, INSECTIA is an educational series built on the startling analogies between human and insect behaviour. As of now, our survival on this planet depends on our ability to forge new alliances with nature, and INSECTIA sheds some critical light on the subject.
