‘original condition,’ only to ‘equivalent land capability,’” (Pasqualetti 2009, p. 258). However, “because the government considers agricultural land the equivalent of forest land…oil sands companies have reclaimed mined land to use as pasture for bison rather than restoring it to the original boreal forest and muskeg” (Pasqualetti 2009, p. 258).
