Abstract |
SUPERCEDED by the 2006 Wildlife Guidelines for Backcountry Tourism/Commercial Recreation. Potential impacts on wildlife can be avoided or mitigated through careful site assessment, planning and management of Commercial Recreation operations. This guide is to assist Applicants to Land and Water BC (LWBC, formerly BCAL) for Commercial Recreation (CR) tenure over Crown land, in preparing an Application that addresses potential impacts of CR operations on sensitive wildlife resources. It presents steps to preparing a complete application that meets wildlife objectives through the use of recommended guidelines to prevent or mitigate the potentially adverse effects of CR activities on wildlife and wildlife habitats in the backcountry. By assisting preparation of complete applications, the guide will also enable the Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection (WLAP) and LWBC to provide more streamlined, consistent and timely responses to applicants for CR tenure. | ||||||||||||||
