The five businesses that are members of the Coast Forest Conservation Initiative (CFCI) are committed to development and implementation of a conservation and ecosystem based management plan for a region of British Columbia encompassing the Central Coast and North Coast a region known as the Great Bear Rainforest.
To achieve their objectives, CFCI participants work with three environmental groups in 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 forest — a model that fully integrates social, economic and ecological factors.
The environmental groups involved in the JSP are:
