WCS Canada response to Draft BC Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health Framework
WCS Canada
Key points
Why it's important
This framework indicates a refreshing willingness by the BC government to take responsibility, in collaboration with Indigenous Peoples, for transformative actions that will benefit biodiversity, ecosystem health, climate and people.
What we want to see:
- Clear details on the design and major changes needed to implement the framework
- A coherent approach involving all relevant BC government ministries.
- New and revised laws co-developed with Indigenous Nations, and not in conflict with existing laws
- Improved definitions of key terms, specifically "ecosystem health", "ecological integrity" and "adaptive management".

About WCS Canada's comments on the Critical Minerals Strategy
Perpetuating current approaches and proceeding with an “extraction first” mentality is going to have massive climate consequences.
