Forest Solutions - Core Principles
The Core Principles of the Coalition for Sustainable Forest Solutions are:
- Reconcile Aboriginal and Crown title;
- Create, implement, and enforce forest management standards that
promote the
long-term health of BC’s forest ecosystems; - Enhance public control and oversight of our forest resources, including rebuilding the public service;
- Redistribute a majority of tenure at the lowest taxpayer cost in order
to create
a new social contract in BC’s forests and to provide greater opportunities for
First Nations, communities and local jobs; - Ensure the public gets full value for forest resources through
transparent log
markets and related timber pricing reforms; and - Ensure broad access to the timber supply and strengthen raw log
export
restrictions for the development of a strong, diverse value-added industry.
These are the principles on which the coalition's Forest Solutions for Sustainable Communities Act are based
