This report highlights the loss of wilderness and its importance for biodiversity, climate, and well-being.

The Seal River Watershed in Northern Manitoba is a healthy, thriving region that is five times larger than the minimum threshold for significant wilderness areas. The report assigns a monetary value to the Seal River Watershed ecosystem, helping planners, governments, and the public understand its worth in ecosystem goods and services, or EGS.

This information promotes the protection and sustainable management of the intact ecosystem, preserving Indigenous cultures and livelihoods.
