This map, from the June 2008 issue of Canadian Geographic, displays the world's last intact forests. The lighter shade of green depicts what were once intact forests before human disturbance, and the darker shade is what is still intact (little to no disturbance). Canada's boreal forest clearly stands out as one of the largest remaining intact forests in the world.
