Download or read book Second Growth written by Sean Markey and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2007-10-01 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is drawn from a three-year participatory research project with four communities in British Columbia: two municipalities and two Aboriginal communities. It examines historical and contemporary forces of restructuring, linking the development of rural communities with the legacy of resource development and Aboriginal marginalization across the province. The book then presents the theoretical and practical dynamics of the community economic development (CED) process and outlines a variety of strategies communities can initiate to diversify their local economies. Second Growth shows that sound theoretical frameworks and tested best practices are important tools in facilitating the prospects for a second growth in rural and small-town communities.

Book excerpt: This report is the result of a project designed to identify and prioritize uncertainties in forest data and modelling based on their relative effects on wood supply prediction and recommend methods to address them. The report reviews efforts in other jurisdictions to address uncertainty in wood supply prediction and presents current methods of wood supply prediction in Ontario. It also includes the methods and results of a survey and subsequent workshop to identify issues creating uncertainty in wood supply prediction. The results are synthesized and prioritized, and an action plan is proposed to address uncertainty in wood supply prediction in Ontario in a logical and effective manner.

Download or read book Talk and Log written by Jeremy Wilson and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than three decades, the fate of British Columbia’s old-growth forests has been a major source of political strife. While more than 5 million hectares of wood were being clearcut, the BC wilderness movement and forest industry supporters clashed, as they continue to do, both pressing their arguments in a variety of forums, ranging from television studios and logging road blockades to royal commission hearings and cabinet ministers’ offices. The resulting record of conflict confirms American historian Paul Hirt’s characterization of forest policy as "party an ideological issue, partly biological, partly economic, partly technical, and wholly political." Talk and Log is a comprehensive account of the rise and impact of the BC wilderness movement between 1965 and 1996. Jeremy Wilson examines the evolution of the movement’s approaches, evaluates the forest industry’s counterstrategies, and analyzes the patterns and trends underlying shifts in provincial government forest, environment, and parks policies. He describes the "war in the woods" triggered by environmentalists’ efforts to preserve areas such as South Moresby and the Carmanah Valley, and considers the complex forces that pushed the government to expand the protected areas system. Wilson’s perceptive analysis of Social Credit’s failed policies of the 1980s is followed by an assessment of the Harcourt NDP government’s reform iniatives, including the Commission on Resources and Environment (CORE) and the Forest Practices Code. Talk and Log is based on a variety of sources, including government documents, environmental group briefs, and interviews with several dozen politicians, government officials, environmentalists, and forest industry leaders. This book deftly illuminates the forces behind controversies that have divided British Columbians and drawn the attention of people around the world. It is also a thought-provoking examination of issues likely to dominate political debates in BC for decades to come.

Download or read book Geography of British Columbia 2nd ed written by Brett McGillivray and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is British Columbia unique within Canada? What physical processes have made this province so rugged and produced such remarkable variation in climate and vegetation? Why did non-Natives come to British Columbia, and what impact did they have on First Nations? Why did so many Asian immigrants come to this province and then leave for other parts of Canada? How were resources developed in the past and how are those resources developed today? Geography of British Columbia discusses these and many other aspects of the growth of this distinctive province. Brett McGillivray focuses first on the combination of physical processes that produced a spectacular variety of mountains, rivers, lakes, islands, fjords, forests, and minerals, explaining the forces that created the province and the natural hazards that can reshape it. A concise examination of B.C. historical geography follows, covering First Nations ways of life, colonization, Asian immigration, and the sad history of institutionalized racism. The second half of the book contains a detailed description of the economic geography of the province, with chapters on forestry, the salmon fishery, metal mining, energy supply and demand, agriculture, water, and the tourism industry. It addresses the present-day issues of urbanization, economic development, and resource management, providing a thorough background to these topics and suggesting what the future might hold. This up-to-date and comprehensive exploration of the rich historical geography and development of British Columbia will be welcomed by teachers, students, scholars, and everyone with an interest in the province.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document outlines a spatial modelling framework relevant to managing forest-dwelling species. The northern spotted owl, an endangered Species at Risk, is used as the case study for framework development and application. The authors present results from development of the component models and from the testing of biological hypotheses and sensitivity analyses of biological assumptions about the northern spotted owl and its ecology. Further they demonstrate application of the framework for assessment of management options for the northern spotted owl and towards identifying critical habitat. This project was undertaken in collaboration with the Canadian Spotted Owl Recovery Team, and the document also outlines the collaborative approach used to address species recovery.--Publisher's website.
