Great Bear Rainforest (Forest Management) Act ([SBC 2016] Chapter 16). Country/Territory Canada Territorial subdivision British Columbia Document type Legislation Date 2016 Source FAO, FAOLEX Subject Forestry, Wild species & ecosystems Keyword Forest management/forest conservation Timber Timber extraction/logging Sustainable use Sustainable development Indigenous peoples Ecosystem preservation Forest service/forest officers Forest species Forestry protection measures Zoning Protected area Authorization/permit Wild fauna Wild flora Management/conservation Geographical area Americas, Arctic, Asia and the Pacific, East Pacific, North America, North Atlantic Entry into force notes The present Act enters into force on 1 January 2017. Abstract The present Act enables the implementation of forest management aspects of the ecosystem based management (EBM) system by providing unique forest management rules for this globally significant area, while still ensuring the application of the normal Forest Act rules where appropriate. In particular, British Columbia has entered into government-to-government protocols with area First Nations to ensure management decisions are informed by their perspectives. An integral component of ecosystem-based management implementation in the Great Bear Rainforest is to ensure there is sufficient habitat for five species of special interest – mountain goats, grizzly bears, marbled murrelets, tailed frogs, and northern goshawk.
