The five participants in the Cost Forest Conservation Initiative (CFCI) are committed to development of a conservation plan for forests within a region of British Columbia encompassing the Central Coast, North Coast and Haida Gwaii/Queen Charlotte Islands.

To achieve their objectives, CFCI participants are working with four environmental groups on a unique undertaking called the Joint Solutions Project (JSP). The purpose of the Joint Solutions Project is to generate new solutions to old conflicts over coastal temperate rainforests. The JSP is a collaboration between forest products producers and environmental groups focused on developing and implementing a model for conservation and management of globally significant coastal forests that fully integrates social, economic and ecological factors.
The environmental groups involved are:
ForestEthics
Greenpeace
Rainforest Action Network
