Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report assesses the identifiable socio-economic and environmental implications of the "Recommended Dawson Creek Land and Resource Management Plan" of June 1998, as compared to a base case land use management regime. The base case includes the implications of the Timber Supply Review management regime, the Forest Practices Code, the Protected Areas Strategy, and other current management initiatives. The assessment is a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the key implications of the Plan versus the base case, given existing knowledge of the cause/effect relationships between Crown land use changes and various socio-economic and environmental values. The assessment utilizes the geographic information system area statistics and resource analyses for timber, mining, and energy values undertaken by government agencies. The implications are projected with regard to forestry, agriculture and rangelands, energy resources, coal and minerals, tourism and recreation, trapping, local communities and First Nations, biodiversity, ecosystems, habitats, and wildlife.
