Natural resource activities at different spatial and temporal scales have cumulative effects on ecosystems and biodiversity that are not yet thoroughly understood. There is currently little information about the baseline conditions or ecological thresholds of ecosystems and how cumulative impacts affect ecosystem resilience. Nevertheless, projects regulated by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act have been required to "consider" cumulative environmental effects since 1992 even though established communities of practice to address these impacts are lacking within the realms of research, policy, and natural resource management. This bibliography constitutes an initial step within a longer-term Forrex planning process to properly address extension needs concerning the cumulative impacts of natural resource development on ecosystems and wildlife. It does not represent an exhaustive list of research related to cumulative impacts, but instead draws on selected work from multiple disciplines and sectors to provide a holistic and critical view of impacts relevant to British Columbia's ecosystems. The bibliography is organized by resource sector and includes forestry, rangeland and grazing, agriculture and wineries, mining, oil and gas, water development, fisheries, urban and rural development, transportation and utility corridors, and recreation. This is followed by a section that organizes sources by a wildlife, ecosystem, or general approach to cumulative effects and concludes with a discussion of identified knowledge and research gaps together with recommendations for developing assessment guidelines of cumulative impacts for the province's natural resource sector. This bibliography illustrates the diversity of cumulative effects approaches, the breath of potential impacts, and the complexity of interactions that occur within a shared land base.

How must natural resource sectors change to achieve sustainable development in British Columbia? What reforms can be made to 'institutions' in order to assist these changes? What new policy instruments can be introduced? What institutions and instruments are no longer useful? These questions are the topic of hot debate in British Columbia and elsewhere. Managing Natural Resources in British Columbia grapples with these questions and suggests some preliminary answers.

Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts: Toward Integrated Natural Resource Management in Canada situates the potential contribution of integrated natural resource management (INRM) within Canada’s complex natural resource management landscape. The report explores the knowledge and governance processes that can support INRM in Canada, barriers to understanding and implementing INRM, and promising INRM practices. The Panel highlighted the importance of considering multiple ways of knowing in INRM, including Indigenous and local knowledge. Although several forms of governance can apply to INRM, all models benefit from the involvement of all actors to participate in natural resource management decision-making. The report is designed to be of value to leaders working to strengthen the efficacy and legitimacy of resource management systems, and to practitioners and other actors striving to advance INRM.

How must natural resource sectors change to achieve sustainable development in British Columbia? What reforms can be made to 'institutions' in order to assist these changes? What new policy instruments can be introduced? What institutions and instruments are no longer useful? These questions are the topic of hot debate in British Columbia and elsewhere. Managing Natural Resources in British Columbia grapples with these questions and suggests some preliminary answers. Interdisciplinary in its approach, the book brings together leading scholars from the fields of law, economics, forestry, and agricultural economics. This book goes one step further than many earlier studies of sustainable development, which have compared, in principle, the merits of market-based versus regulation-based instruments, and examines these policy instruments, their institutional contexts, and the way in which they are implemented in the various resource sectors in British Columbia. Looking in turn at forestry, fisheries, air quality, and the regulation of energy, the authors consider what policy instruments are most appropriate for fostering sustainable development and which institutions will best implement these policies and sustain them in the years to come. Managing Natural Resources in British Columbia offers an innovative and far-reaching contribution to the debate over sustainability at a time when many individuals are questioning the future of the environment in British Columbia.

The book is comprised of practical environmental and socioeconomic information which can be used in planning and implementing CEAM studies. Such information has been compiled from CEAM practices in the USA, Canada, Australia, European, and many other countries. Considerable information on step-wise CEAM processes, along with connector methods and resource-related methods and tools for predicting, mitigating, and managing cumulative effects on key Valued Ecosystem Components (VECs), is included.
