GOABC advocates for science-based wildlife management and wants decision-makers to value wildlife and their habitat in land use decisions. There are many factors to consider, and decisions are often made to grow the economy, but if we put a higher value on wildlife, including grizzly bears, we will see their population continue to be healthy and grow.
Guide outfitters are the founders of the tourism industry and an important part of the outdoor heritage of British Columbia. Guide outfitters often live within their guide territory and have extensive knowledge of habitat conditions, predator-prey relationships, and the overall ecosystem in which they operate.
The Guide Outfitters Association of British Columbia (GOABC) is a non-profit society that was established in 1966 to represent the guide outfitting industry. GOABC believes in sustainable use principles and advocates for science-based wildlife management.
