Boreal Forest Network has an on line free membership TRN Bulletin: April 2004 Boreal Bulletin: TAIGA RESCUE NETWORK The Taiga Rescue Network (TRN) was founded in 1992 at an international conference of scientists, academics and environmental organizations in Sweden. The reason for this international gathering was to create a coordinated response to the growing concerns with the social, economic and environmental degradation that is occurring in the boreal (taiga) forest. A platform outlining the goals and mandate of the TRN was adopted by 110 organizations from 20 countries. At the second TRN international conference held in Alberta, Canada in 1994, TRN recognized the pressing need to set up and maintain a fully operational North American Coordination Centre in Canada. The North American organizations belonging to TRN created the Boreal Forest Network (BFN) the North American affiliate of the TRN in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Since the founding conference, over 200 organizations and thousands of individuals have signed onto the TRN's mission statement of ensuring "the protection, restoration and the sustainable use of the boreal forest throughout the globe."
