Will BC Deliver on ‘Radical’ Forest Reform? – The Tyee

The government is signalling a shift in resource management. Here’s one way to prove it’s real.

It’s been six months since the B.C. government released its “Draft B.C. Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health Framework” suggesting a radical and welcome shift in its approach to resource management.

The framework, from the Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship, promises to “prioritize the conservation and management of ecosystem health and biodiversity, including the conservation and recovery of species at risk.”

The approach “will align all existing related initiatives and set the path for co-development and implementation of new policies, legislation, and strategies,” the framework says.
