Wildlife Guidelines

With its spectacular natural scenic landscapes and biological diversity, B.C. offers some of the finest outdoor recreation opportunities in the world. Ecotourism and adventure travel is one of the fastest growing segments of the B.C. tourism industry. The Ministry of Environment, in collaboration with stakeholders and the public, developed Interim Wildlife Guidelines for Commercial Backcountry Recreation. Their purpose is to ensure that growth of the commercial recreation industry is environmentally sustainable and is supported by policies to protect BC's wildlife values.


The BC Government's 'Wildlife Guidelines for Commercial Backcountry Recreation in British Columbia' are available at:
