Xsu gwin lik’l’inswx: West Babine Sustainable Resource Management Plan Map 1: Amalgamated Map Page iv March 2004
Foreword Xsu gwin lik’l’inswx: West Babine Sustainable Resource Management Plan The purpose of the West Babine Sustainable Resource Management Plan is to guide land and resource use within the plan area to provide long-term sustainability of natural resources, jobs, and communities in the West Babine area. This plan is intended to implement the objectives of the Kispiox Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) and the Babine Local Resource Use Plan (LRUP) within the Kispiox Timber Supply Area. In keeping with the Governance Principles for Sustainable Resource Management being drafted by the provincial government, the plan provides the following: Certainty, by providing clear management direction to resource users; Efficiency in the allocation, development and use of natural resources, by clarifying the timing and nature of activities that can occur in the area; Flexibility, by presenting results-based standards that will allow resource users to use their innovation and professional skills in developing implementation strategies; Transparency, by creating the plan in a spirit of openness of information and in consultation with First Nations, stakeholders, and the general public; Accountability, by setting measurable objectives and indicators that can be tracked over time; and Efficacy, by incorporating monitoring and adaptive management to ensure that the desired outcome is achieved. The West Babine SRMP has been developed through consultation with stakeholders and with the Gitxsan First Nation. The plan is intended to provide a balance of social, cultural, economic and environmental values that consider the values of all those who have an interest for the area. The plan will establish one landscape unit: the West Babine Landscape Unit and will establish landscape objectives for this landscape unit. The plan will also amend the Atna Shelagyote and Babine River Special Management Zones established by the Kispiox LRMP. The Babine River Special Management Zone within the Bulkley TSA remains unchanged. A copy of the West Babine SRMP may be obtained as follows: on the MSRM website at http://srmwww.gov.bc.ca/ske/srmp/index.htm; or upon request from the Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management.
