Engagement Summary
The Province is working to recover boreal caribou populations in northeast British Columbia. As part of this work, it sought feedback on key elements of a draft Boreal Caribou Protection and Recovery Plan (BCPRP). The draft plan was co-developed by the B.C. government and Fort Nelson First Nation, in collaboration with the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality.
The draft BCPRP outlines a recovery path for four boreal caribou ranges in B.C.: Calendar; Maxhamish; Snake-Sahtahneh; and Westside Fort Nelson. It defines an overall recovery goal and management objectives, details supporting habitat and population management actions deemed necessary to reverse caribou population declines, and establishes an adaptive management framework to support the plan’s implementation.
Members of the public were able to complete an online survey and submit feedback about the draft plan. Additional engagement opportunities for stakeholders and communities in northeast B.C. took place to share information and receive feedback throughout the process.
