About this Project
The Problem

Coastal British Columbia faces challenges with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to operational forest lands being used for timber harvesting. This activity not only contributes to GHG emissions but also threatens biodiversity, old forests, ecologically significant areas, and culturally important sites.

The Solution

The BigCoast Forest Climate Initiative is the largest project of its kind in Canada. It began in 2022 by conserving 40,000 ha of unique forest ecosystems on the West Coast of Canada. More than 80% of these lands are old forest - land that has never been industrially harvested.
