Acknowledgements
We would like to express our most sincere gratitude
to all of those who have supported RESPECT since the
beginning. We would especially like to thank our partner, SAJO,
whose continuous efforts since 1998, to promote an awareness of the boreal
forest was the driving force behind this project. Their generous contributions,
both financial and in-kind, have helped to see this project through despite
the many challenges along the way. We would also like thank the Biosphere
of Montreal, Montreal, QC, for their financial and in-kind contributions
along with The Forks in Winnipeg, MB who believed in
this project and will host the August 2007 exhibits. Both of these sponsors
are making it possible for millions of locals and visitors alike to enjoy
the images of Canada's boreal forest. Other Canadian
cities are expected to host the show in the years to come.

During the course of our assignment across
Canada we were privileged to meet many exceptional people. This exhibition
is dedicated to those we photographed and those whose generous contributions
made this project possible.

Finally, RESPECT would not have been possible without the incredible contribution
of Douglas the aviator, who led the expedition, flying
hundreds of hours on a voluntary basis. His love and knowledge of aviation
and his total dedication to the project made this journey possible.
