Abstract

Ecosystem-based management (EBM) has emerged as a means of moving towards sustainable forest management, although its application in British Columbia is limited. One recent example is a high-profile initiative on the Central/North Coast to protect the globally significant temperate rain forest. This paper examines the relationship between sustainable forest management and EBM in the province, and discusses how EBM might be applied to further progress towards sustainability.
