The work on identification of Canadas intact forest landscapes was supported by the home furnishings company IKEA, the World Resources Institute, the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, the Canada Boreal Initiative, and the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund. The work benefited from software donated by Environmental Systems Research Institute Inc. (ESRI) and Leica Geosystems\' Geographic Imaging (ERDAS). Their support is gratefully acknowledged.

The authors thank all suppliers of imagery for their invaluable help. The completion of this work, in its present view, would have been impossible without these images.

Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) satellite images were donated by the Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) within the Earth Observation System Program of the United States National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA). The Landsat satellite images used in this work were obtained from NASA, the Global Land Cover Facility at the University of Maryland, Landsat.org of Michigan State University, and from Geogratis of Natural Resources Canada. The University of Maryland\'s Global Land Cover Facility acquired and orthorectified much of the Landsat imagery, and conducted initial mapping work that greatly assisted the identification of disturbances.

GeoGratis of Natural Resources Canada, the University of Maryland\'s Global Land Cover Facility, and Michigan State University\'s Landsat.org have provided an increasingly valuable service in providing free or low-cost public access to satellite imagery. Their contributions to this project are gratefully acknowledged.

The previous intact forest landscape mapping work for Russia and the enormous contribution to the Canada project by Russian Global Forest Watch partners was invaluable.

Maja Laird and Karen Holmes edited the report.

Special thanks to Dirk Bryant (World Resources Institute), for his active engagement and support throughout the project; to Alexey Yaroshenko for his leadership in developing the method for mapping of intact forest landscapes; and to the staff of three Global Forest Watch partner organizations in Russia: Biodiversity Conservation Center, Greenpeace Russia, and Socio-Ecological Union International for sharing their expertise and making this project a truly collaborative, pan-boreal effort.
