Our Position on Key Wildlife Issues

We are a coalition of diverse memberships calling on the government to establish BC as a leader in fish, wildlife and habitat management.

  • Legislated Objectives for Wildlife and Habitat

    Land Use Planning and 30 x 30

    We support long-term land use planning; however, BC’s biodiversity crisis demands immediate action to protect vulnerable species and ecosystems. We cannot wait for LUP to be completed before taking steps to prevent further loss.
  • Governance Reform and Accountability

    Wildlife Act Review

    The Wildlife Act must establish conservation of wildlife and habitat as a legislated objective that guides decisions across government. Equally important is the establishment of a dedicated conservation fund.
