Applying the adaptive management framework to the human well-being aspects of the Bella Coola Community Forest : Bella Coola Community Forest Pilot

"Adaptive Management (AM) is an integral component of the Ecosystem Based Management (EBM) regime being applied to the Central and North Coast region. EBM aims to preserve ecological function and improve human wellbeing and as the details of EBM are unfolding, so is the framework and institutional design of AM. An Adaptive Management Framework (AMF) is being developed by the EBM Working Group with the aid of consultants Stephen Tyler, Dave Daust, Cristina Soto, Richard Overstall and Karen Price. With the AMF near completion, the EBM Working Group is interested in evaluating its application and the Bella Coola Community Forest presents an opportunity to apply the AMF to the Human Wellbeing (HW) side of the EBM concept." -- Executive summary, P. ii.
