The landscape in the far-northeastern corner of B.C., a broad swath of muskeg and boreal forest shaped by sporadic islands of permafrost, is warming up.

“People are seeing more muskeg, more swampy areas, which means more bugs,” said Lorna Lowe, director of lands and resources for the Fort Nelson First Nation.
The bugs include ticks that infest moose, making their meat less palatable, Lowe said.

“The best way to limit emissions from the permafrost zone is to rapidly decrease the dirty fossil-fuel use that we have currently,” Abbott said. “That’s the only way we can be sure to keep the carbon in the ground where it’s been for thousands of years.”
