The Ministry’s ongoing commitment to sustainable environmental management and environmental stewardship is prominently reflected in this plan. Outlined are the Ministry’s efforts to act on government’s strategic priorities aimed at building a healthy environment—the foundation for the well-being and economic prosperity of British Columbians. The Ministry remains dedicated to pursuing key climate action initiatives and implementing the Climate Action Plan. In July 2009, the Ministry and the Climate Action Secretariat released the British Columbia Provincial Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report 2007. The report establishes the emissions baseline required to assess the province’s progress toward its 2012, 2016, 2020 and 2050 greenhouse gas reduction targets under the Greenhouse Gas Reductions Target Act. The report groups emissions into six sectors: energy; industrial processes; solvent and other product use; agriculture; land use, land- use change and forestry; and waste. Emissions will be tracked from this baseline to establish trends across these sectors throughout the province, measuring our progress toward a cleaner, greener British Columbia.

  • Cataloguing in Situ Protection of Genetic Resources for Major Commercial Forest Trees in British Columbia
    Cataloguing in situ protection of genetic resources for major commercial forest trees in British Columbia a,* a b A. Hamann , S. N. Aitken , A. D. Yanchuk Extended manuscript, cite as: Conference Proceedings, Dynamics and Conservation of Genetic Diversity in Forest nd th Ecosystems, Strassbourg, December 2 to 5 , 2002. Forest Ecology and Management (special issue) 197: 295-305. _____________________________________________________________________ Abstract Loss of genetic diversity can be due to a variety of causes and might take place unnoticed even in widespread and frequent species. In situ reserves can be a very efficient method of protecting genetic diversity in tree species if they are sufficiently large to sustain adequate populations and spatially well distributed to protect populations adapted to a range of environmental conditions. We use a geographical information system (GIS) based approach to assess the level of in situ protection using forest inventory data. Recently revised maps of seed planning units used for management of genetic resources for 11 major commercial conifer species reflect geographic variation as observed in genetic tests. On this basis we investigate how well populations are represented in protected areas. Due to a systematic expansion of protected areas in the 1990s, it appears that conifer genetic resources are now well represented in protected areas. In this study we identify the remaining gaps for in situ protection and discuss implications for genetic resource management. Further, we evaluate protected areas for their importance with respect to gene conservation, and determine whether ground truthing is necessary to confirm that populations in protected areas are sufficiently large. Keywords: gene conservation, conifers, gap analysis, GIS, British Columbia _________________________________________________________________________________ ab1.

His nine books include the bestseller Stolen Continents, winner of the Gordon Montador Award and chosen as a book of the year by the Independent and the Sunday Times. His first novel, A Scientific Romance, won the 1997 David Higham Prize for Fiction and was chosen a book of the year by the Globe and Mail, the Sunday Times, and the New York Times. In 2004 Wright was selected to give the CBC Massey Lectures. His contribution, A Short History of Progress, looks at the modern environmental crisis in light of humanity's 10,000-year experiment with civilization, with special reference to species extinction, soil degradation, economics, and climate change. The film Surviving Progress, based on Wright's book, will be released later this year.
