Millions of lakes, thousands of kilometres of unbroken river systems, and a quarter of the world’s wetlands — taken together, these fresh, clean waters contain over 80,000,000 hectares of freshwater and nourish an entire continent-wide landscape of plants, animals, and communities. | Boreal Conservation | Facebook
