Forest Biodiversity Value

Last updated on December 19, 2024

The Interim Assessment Protocol for Forest Biodiversity in British Columbia describes an approach to estimate the effects of landscape change and modification on biodiversity and will provide indicators to compare landscape condition to existing guidance, policy and legal targets.

Please note the Interim Assessment Protocol for Forest Biodiversity is undergoing revisions to reflect the current assessment methodology being used for this value. Please contact cumulativeeffects@gov.bc.ca if you have any questions about this protocol.

Modifications to this protocol or alternate assessment methods may also be used to generate cumulative effects assessment reports for forest biodiversity.

To learn more about the forest biodiversity value and how it is assessed under the CEF, read the Forest Biodiversity Infographic (PDF, 1MB).
