In Écoche, Quebec, Canada, Stanley Saganach refills a generator in the renovated log house of his cousin, Roderick Habigac. Trees are as far as the eye can see, and Canada is looking to Indigenous communities to help manage its boreal forests, the largest forest ecosystem in the world and one of the largest carbon stores.
