  • SMZ Foreword
    Foreword BC Spaces for Nature is a solutions-oriented, conservation organization created in 1990 to promote the protection of British Columbia’s rich diversity of wilderness and wildlife. BC Spaces works with individuals and organizations throughout the province to ensure that British Columbia’s wild spaces remain intact. Given this mandate, BC Spaces recognized the potential that Special Management Zones could make in safeguarding these values. Hence this Citizens’ Guide has been written to help the public ensure that the Special Management Zones will indeed achieve their potential. After over 125 years of forest development, British Columbia still contains extensive temperate forests. These wildlands contain an extraordinary range of plants and animals that are the envy of the world. Consequently, British Columbians have a global responsibility to steward the environmental values of our province. However, for many years British Columbia’s forests have been subjected to damaging logging practices and unsustainable overcutting. In the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, this led to increasing conflicts between the logging industry and conservationists. In places such as Carmanah Valley and Clayoquot Sound the tensions of these confrontations became intense. To help resolve these conflicts the B.C. government sponsored a series of land use planning processes to designate the landbase for the management of both economic and ecological values. The zones delineated through these public negotiation exercises included: Protected Areas, Integrated Management, Enhanced Resource Use and Special Management. In particular, the establishment of Special Management Zones to maintain and enhance values other than timber - such as environmental and social concerns - were critical to achieving success at the negotiation table.

    LEGISLATING BRITISH COLUMBIA: A HISTORY OF B.C. LAND LAW, 1858-1978 by Michael Begg LL.B., University of Victoria, 1994 B.A., University of Victoria, 1991 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF LAWS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA October, 2007 © Michael Begg, 2007 Abstract Almost all of British Columbia, 95%, is public land, managed by the B.C. government. This "95/5 split" is unique in the industrialized world. Public land, in its use for forestry, oil and gas, mining, tourism, and agriculture, remains the foundation of the B.C. economy. It has also come to define how the people of British Columbia see themselves as a society. But when did land become so much a part of British Columbia's identity? How is it that so much of British Columbia remains public? What does the high proportion of public land tell us about the role of the government? Why does land continue to have such an important role in this modern society? And what role does law play in the relationship among society, the economy, land, and government? With these questions as its starting point, this thesis offers a history of British Columbia through the lens of legislation for the allocation of land. The period covered, 1858-1978, enables the study of the two major periods of transition in land law, and of the continuity between them. Those periods are the establishment of colonial land legislation, from 1858- 1871, and the upheaval of those laws, from 1965-1978, ending just before the era of provincial land-use planning.

    IUCN World Heritage Outlook: https://worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org/ Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks - 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment INFORMACIÓN DEL SITIO Country: Canada Inscribed in: 1984 Criteria: (vii) (viii) The contiguous national parks of Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho, as well as the Mount Robson, Mount Assiniboine and Hamber provincial parks, studded with mountain peaks, glaciers, lakes, waterfalls, canyons and limestone caves, form a striking mountain landscape. The Burgess Shale fossil site, well known for its fossil remains of soft-bodied marine animals, is also found there. © UNESCO RESUMEN 2020 Conservation Outlook Finalised on 02 Dic 2020 GOOD WITH SOME CONCERNS The values of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage site, inscribed under criteria (vii) and (viii) have so far remained well preserved and the management of individual protected areas comprising this serial site has been relatively effective. However, there are a number of concerns and threats negatively affecting these values. Glaciers are receding dramatically and are predicted to shrink by 95% by 2100. This will have a significant impact on hydrological systems, particularly river flows. An important mammal sub- species, mountain caribou, has been lost from much of the site and is declining towards extirpation. Rapidly increasing tourism numbers and tourism infrastructure are impacting the scenic value of the main valleys, and external pressure from increasing development activities outside of the site is affecting it. Reduced budgets and staffing levels raise questions about the commitment and capacity to address these threats, especially in the provincial parks. Overall, the conservation outlook for the site is considered Good with some concerns, noting that those concerns are persistent from previous Outlook assessments and are growing in some cases.

  • Civil Society and Protected Areas (Post-Conference Final) Harvey Locke
    Parks for Tomorrow 2008 July 7, 2008 Civil Society and Protected Areas (post-conference final) Harvey Locke “How can a Minister stand up against the pressures of commercial interests who want to use the parks for mining, forestry, for every kind of honky-tonk recreational device known to man, unless the people who love these parks are prepared to band together and support the minister by getting the facts out across the country?” Honourable Alvin Hamilton, 1960 Hansard Introduction Protected areas, especially national parks, are a highly valued component of Canadian life. They are of critical importance to the survival of many species of wildlife and to the provision of ecosystem services, including fresh-water production and carbon sequestration. Civil society is the owner of those protected areas. Contrary to recent conventional academic wisdom, the origin and development of Canada’s parks and protected areas lies not in business interests or the doctrine of commercial usefulness but rather in the interests of civil society. Indeed it is the special innovation of protected areas in North America (and Australia, New Zealand and South Africa) starting in the 19th century that they are dedicated to the public. Civil society’s engagement or lack of it has been and will likely continue to the determining factor in the success of protected areas in Canada. History has shown that when civil society practices absentee ownership, the result is the destruction or disappearance of protected areas and that when civil society leaves new protected area establishment exclusively to government, little gets done. However, the periods of public engagement in Canada’s protected areas have led to the creation of some of the world’s most emblematic national parks and several world-class protected areas systems.
