Wildlife analysis

Last updated on January 12, 2022

As a result of the 2007 Tsilhqot'in decision, government must assess the effects of forest management decisions on First Nations rights to hunt and trap wildlife.

Government wildlife biologists and foresters are working with First Nations to develop a shared understanding of forestry effects on wildlife distribution, abundance and habitat. B.C.’s Chief Forester considers this information when determining the allowable annual cut (AAC) within timber supply areas (TSAs) across the province.

Information created through new collaborations with First Nations and new tools to understand forestry effects on wildlife have helped to inform AAC decisions throughout British Colombia, including in the Prince George, Kamloops, Cranbrook, Invermere and Arrow TSAs.
