The wildfires of the mid 2030s and early 2040s that devastated most of the northern Algonquin forests had shocked Canadians to their very core. Something so special, something so iconic...something that we so carelessly allowed to be destroyed by human-driven climate change. Except, the forest wasn't destroyed. It was damaged and it was hurt and its populations of trees and birds and animals and the like had been greatly reduced. But nature is resilient, and thanks to the help of some prescient humans, nature had managed to stage a comeback in the northern Algonquin forests. While the fires were truly cataclysmic, the self-preservation instincts of the animals coupled with the herculean efforts of scientists, researchers and conservationists had ensured that there would be a future for the forests, animal species and the broader biosphere of the Algonquin National Park.
