ORIGINAL PURPOSE To protect representative ecosystems, rare genetic resources, endemic wildlife, plants and plant communities and outstanding biological phenomena in a remote coastal setting Physical: Located on the west slope of the Queen Charlotte Ranges, the reserve includes mountainous terrain to 825 m in elevation, 60 km of marine shoreline, two large islands, and a
Satellite Channel Ecological Reserve #067 (ER67), located between Saltspring Island and Saanich Peninsula, was designated in 1975 to conserve rich benthic communities typical of fine-grained, level-bottom environments in the southern Gulf Islands (Figure 1). Under the Ecological Reserve Act, industrial uses are prohibited in ecological reserves (ER) to protect the environmental values associated with these

ORIGINAL PURPOSE To protect an area of montane and subalpine flora and fauna representative for the North West Cascade Ecosection and protect rare species and special karst habitat. Physical: The reserve consists of the three south/north-draining valleys and headwaters of Liumchen Creek, between the international border and their confluence. The two western of these parallel
ORIGINAL PURPOSE To protect a site for research on sub-boreal forest types on a poor site, adjacent bogland, and intermediate vegetation types. Physical: The reserve is located on a flat outwash plain about 15 km west of the Parsnip Reach of Williston Lake. It encompasses the southern end of a huge treeless bog which stretches
ORIGINAL PURPOSE To conserve undisturbed ponderosa pine-grassland vegetation. The following is from the BC Parks report. Physical: The reserve is in the bottom of the deeply incised the river cuts westward through the north end of the Cascade Range to join the Fraser. It consists of gently sloping benchlands which give way to steep, gullied
ORIGINAL PURPOSE: To protect nesting seabirds, raptors and marine environments The land area, less than 4% in total, is comprised of four significant islands and many associated islets and reefs, located in four groups. These are the outermost islands of the central mainland coast, located within an area of low relief along the eastern edge
Author S. Scott Wallace Article first published online: 24 DEC 2001, Conservation Biology Volume 13, Issue 4, pages 882–887, August 1999 DOI: 10.1046/j.1523-1739.1999.98117.x Abstract: Marine reserves have been suggested as tools for assisting the management of fisheries by protecting vulnerable marine species from overexploitation. Although there is a theoretical basis for believing that marine reserves may serve as management tools,

Physical: Mount Hadow and adjacent serrate peaks of the Slocan Ranges mark the upper- elevational southwest boundary of the reserve and provide a spectacular backdrop. Below the vertical headwalls of this peak is a prominent cirque basin containing an alpine glacier which feeds directly into a subalpine lake, the source of Lew Creek. Reserve boundaries
