To the Editor; The integrated management of our valuable natural resources concerns us all, and’ ‘there is an increasing. demand- from an -environmentally-aware. ‘public for more ‘diligent and scrupulous management of ‘them. : As your MLA, 1am pleased to report that our provincial government | has -supported economic. development policies that reflect a ‘commitment to a healthy, ‘sustainable environ- ment. We must ensure that economic development co-exists: : in harmony | ‘with the environ-. ment by ‘‘anticipating and preventing’’. rather than ‘‘re- acting and repairing’. To ensure a sustainable environment, we must anticipate future demands on our resources, accurately assess environmental impacts” and develop responsible strategies .and initiatives. This message was emphasized by the Minister. of the Environment, the Honourable Bruce Strachan, in a recent address to the-British Columbia Forestry Association, - and I strongly endorse the high priority our government has placed on this important issue. Our government shares in the responsibility of a sustainable environment and has im- plemented many integrated management . mechanisms that link the environment and the economy. Most recently, a Task _ Force on the Environment and Economy was appointed, chaired by U.B.C.. President David Strangway, and including members from government, in- dustry, environmental - and native groups. The Task Force will make rec- ommendations to government in several vital areas which will in- clude: ‘establishing a permanent environment forum of public and private sec- tor decision-makers to advise'on’ the integration of environmental ‘management: and economic development; developing a pro- vincial conservation strategy aimed at long.term environmen- tal protection and effective resource use; and promoting un-. derstanding of the bond between ‘the environment and. economy _ through. environmental educa- tion. ‘Our government is committed ‘to faking a leading role in in- tegrated resource management and to do this we must do even -more to protect and preserve our environment. The most effective way of achieving this objective is. to address issues related to en- vironmental and economic sus- tainability before, not after resource allocation decisions a are made, This will also mean that there _ will be tough regulations and severe penalties for non- compliance, That kind of safety net is needed to protect against those who do not meet their responsibilities as environmental citizens, It is the intention of our government to ensure integrated resource management in British _ Columbia receives top priority. That means increased public education, multi-sectoral par- ticipation in planning en- vironmentally sound economic development, and rigorous en- - forcement~ of environmental law. In this way’ we can build “anticipate and prevent”? into integrated resource management and help ensure our rich ‘resource base can support the demands of today’ 8 and to- morrow’s users, Dave Parker, Registered Professional Forester, MLA — Skeena.: — _ More letters on page 6 Frank Donahue = The Mutual Group since /868 Skeena Mali, Terrace Accessible & Attractive office The Mutual Group | Facing Tomorrow Together AGENT _ STAFF _ SERVICE Maureen Buck: reception Pam Biffle: sales assistant ..
