The Wilderness Committee is in this report launching our strategy to see 41% of Vancouver Island set aside as protected areas based on the application of Conservation Areas Design, which builds on the principles of conservation biology. The report also lays out strategies to promote more value-added manufacturing, resulting in an increase of sustainable forestry jobs so we would get much more out of each tree logged.
