21 R Responsibilities & expectations for SaR protection & recovery.
22 R Responsibilities & expectations for SaR protection & recovery. Local Governments 1.7 Provincial Government Federal Government First Nations Individual Citizens Industrial/Commercial Users Private Landowners Weighted Rank
23 R Responsibilities & expectations for SaR protection & recovery. Why is education on these lines not more accessible? When things like thinning out moose by limited entries, to thin the wolves to save the small herd of caribou when their wintering ground has been logged have no place to winter should be public knowledge. We didn t even know what is endangered and what has been done! I don t want my answers from Greenpeace.
24 R I trust the gov t to make fair decisions about natural resources that balance SaR management & economic dev t. 47.0% 1.6% 3.1% 9.6% 13.6% 25.1% Strongly Agree Mildly Agree Partly Agree/ Mildly Strongly Don t Know
25 R Responsibilities & expectations for SaR protection & recovery. I have two young children and protecting the environment for their future is of key importance to me. I think it is important for all sectors of government to be involved: to educate individuals and businesses on ways to to their part, and in some cases, to make examples either financially or criminally of those who ignore their harmful impact on the environment...
26 R Responsibilities & expectations for SaR protection & recovery.... I also believe that it is important for governments to take a more active role of informing the public on what is being done and what should be done by the public to help, on what sacrifices must be made and why. I think we rely too much on the media to get our information and they tend to focus on the bad news which is good for ratings but tends to turn people off. I know we all need to help, but scaring people isn t the answer.
27 R Responsibilities & expectations for SaR protection & recovery. The provincial government seems more and more to have it s hands in the pockets of corporations. Very little regard or care is given for the citizens of this province. Vancouver or Victoria are to the rest of the province like Ottawa or Toronto are to the West. Couldn't give a damn! We are only areas for exploitation and profit.
28 T Threats to SaR.
29 T Threats to SaR. 1. Toxic chemicals (e.g. pesticides, herbicides). 2. Commercial/industrial activities (e.g. mining, timber harvesting). 3. Housing/urban development. 4. Climate change. 5. Competition with non-native animals and invasive plants. 6. Hunting, fishing, and other harvesting of plants and animals. 7. Impacts from outdoor recreation. 8. Farming/ranching practices.
30 T Perceived threat to SaR Toxic chemicals (e.g. some pesticides & herbicides. Habitat loss due to commercial activities. Habitat loss due to housing/urban development. Effects of climate change. Competition with non-native animals/invasive plants. Hunting, fishing or some form of harvesting. Effects of outdoor recreation. Habitat loss due to farming/ranching. 0% 25% 50% 75% 100%
31 F Factors for prioritizing the protection & recovery of SaR.
32 F Priorities & responsibilities for SaR protection & recovery. SaR in BC but common elsewhere. SaR only or mainly occuring in BC. Chances of successful protection & recovery. Cultural & traditional importance. Economic costs of protection & recovery. Common species whose numbers are in rapid decline Weighted Rank
33 F Priorities for SaR Protection: British Columbia.
34 F Priorities for SaR Protection: Central-Northern BC
35 F Priorities for SaR Protection: Coastal BC.
36 F Priorities for SaR Protection: Southeastern BC.
37 F Priorities for SaR Protection: Vancouver Island / Lower Mainland.
38 F Factors for prioritizing the protection & recovery of SaR Ranked Specie Attributes Species only or mainly occurring in BC. Common species whose numbers are in rapid decline. Chances of successful protection & recovery. Economic costs of protection & recovery. Species at risk in BC but common elsewhere. Species of cultural and traditional importance. Thurstone Scale Rank Common species whose numbers are in rapid decline. Species only or mainly occurring in BC. The likelihood of the species being protected. Species at risk in BC but common elsewhere. The costs associated with protecting the species. Cultural and traditional importance.
39 P Protection & recovery of SaR on private land.
40 P SaR protection & recovery should not interfere with a landowner s right to develop property. 1.6% 6.3% 9.8% 36.5% 22.6% 23.1% Strongly Agree Mildly Agree Partly Agree/ Mildly Strongly Don t Know
41 P Landowners should not have the right to use their property in ways that may put plants & animals at risk of extinction % 15.7% 4.6% 5.8% 0.4% 50.9% Strongly Agree Mildly Agree Partly Agree/ Mildly Strongly Don t Know
42 I Protection & recovery of SaR on private land. Your questionnaire is well written and raises interesting questions about the rights of private landowners. As a private landowner myself, I feel strongly that ownership does not include the right to do anything on your land. Rather, ownership should bring with it responsibilities, including the protection of water, habitat, and species at risk. Government should play a key role in enforcement of environmental regulations on private land.
43 P Landowners who are prevented from developing their property because of SaR should be compensated % 8.6% 2.9% 23.7% 23.9% 33.2% Strongly Agree Mildly Agree Partly Agree/ Mildly Strongly Don t Know
44 P Protection & recovery of SaR on private land. Nobody has a right to tell me what I can or cannot do on my own private land, unless we agree to sell it to you at fair market value.
45 P Provide incentives (e.g. tax breaks) to private landowners for efforts that they could make to protect & recover SaR % 7.9% 2.0% 0.9% 0.7% 57.9% Strongly Agree Mildly Agree Partly Agree/ Mildly Strongly Don t Know
46 P Protection & recovery of SaR on private land. Private property makes up a very small percentage of British Columbia and should be left just like that, Private! My experience tells me the Government is far more likely to boggle up things than private citizens.
47 M Public preferences for SaR management strategies / actions.
48 M Management Strategies
49 M Public preferences for SaR management strategies / actions. You refer to the balance of nature. There is no such thing. It is a constant war out there. Eat or be eaten. Everything is connected but all organisms are striving for the things they need to survive. Some are successful, others go extinct. The fossil record shows us that extinction is the norm. Survival is not. Species at risk will always occur. We should not lose sight of the big picture, that is all species are at risk!
50 M Implement actions for SaR protection & recovery even if these actions have negative consequences for other species. 12.7% 4.0% 11.1% 17.8% 31.5% 22.9% Strongly Agree Mildly Agree Partly Agree/ Mildly Strongly Don t Know
51 M Support primary & secondary education classes about natural history & the natural environment. 14.3% 2.0% 0.4% 83.3% Strongly Agree Mildly Agree Partly Agree/ Mildly Strongly Don t Know
52 M Public preferences for SaR management strategies / actions. Continue to improve natural parks and resources as population increases. Teach young people to enjoy nature.
53 M Public preferences for SaR management strategies / actions.... In my opinion/experience, grade and high school environmental education is necessary, but currently poor, alarmist, and often provided by unqualified teachers. The ESA has conducted several studies on ecologocal/environment. Hobbies such as aquarium/terrarium keeping, house plants, gardening are often effective education tools.
54 M Public preferences for SaR management strategies / actions. We need to educate our children about the value of nature. Inculcating a sense of the importance of the environment and the creatures around them is the best way to protect species at risk. Ok, maybe not he most effective immediately, but it will pay off i the future!
55 M Ban pesticides & other toxic chemicals in order to protect & recover SaR and their habitats. 20.5% 9.8% 1.1% 2.7% 1.1% 64.9% Strongly Agree Mildly Agree Partly Agree/ Mildly Strongly Don t Know
56 M Increase the pop/ns of SaR by raising plants & animals that are at risk in a controlled environment for later release % 4.2% 2.9% 3.3% 35.0% 43.2% Strongly Agree Mildly Agree Partly Agree/ Mildly Strongly Don t Know
57 M Limit access to natural areas (i.e. controlling human activities inside & outside of parks). 7.6% 1.5% 9.1% 30.7% 18.9% 32.3% Strongly Agree Mildly Agree Partly Agree/ Mildly Strongly Don t Know
58 M Public preferences for SaR management strategies / actions. I would support protection of the environment but at the same time resent when areas are off limits....
59 I Public involvement in natural resource decision-making.
60 I The citizens of BC need to have more opportunities for input into natural resource management decisions. 16.3% 5.6% 2.2% 3.4% 31.5% 40.9% Strongly Agree Mildly Agree Partly Agree/ Mildly Strongly Don t Know
61 I I know enough about natural resource management to provide meaningful input into natural resource planning decisions. 16.0% 9.5% 16.8% 14.6% 19.9% 23.3% Strongly Agree Mildly Agree Partly Agree/ Mildly Strongly Don t Know
62 I Members of the public have a responsibility to become involved in efforts to manage SaR & their habitats. 32.2% 8.9% 1.4% 1.1% 0.4% 56.0% Strongly Agree Mildly Agree Partly Agree/ Mildly Strongly Don t Know
63 U Areas of uncertainty & lack of knowledge.
64 U Areas of uncertainty & lack of knowledge. 1. Opinions & beliefs about natural resource management issues: 10% did not know enough about natural resource management to provide meaningful input. Uncertainty about whether there are enough parks in BC to protect species at risk.
65 U Areas of uncertainty & lack of knowledge. 2. Opinions about species at risk protection: Uncertainty about whether natural resource management does a good job of protecting/ recovering SaR and their habitats. Uncertainty about whether it is more useful to protect & recover SaR habitat or individual species.
66 U Areas of uncertainty & lack of knowledge. 3. Opinions about different approaches for protecting & recovering SaR: Uncertainty about strategy to limit negative consequences of green energy development in order to protect & recover SaR and their habitats. Uncertainty about acceptability of implementing actions to protect & recover SaR if they have negative consequences on other species.
67 U Areas of uncertainty & lack of knowledge. 4. Opinions about threats to SaR: Uncertainty about degree of threat posed by nonnative animals or invasive plants.
68 Recommendations 1. Ensure that programs & strategies to manage SaR are informed by a representative sample of the public.
69 Ensure that programs & strategies to manage SaR are informed by a representative sample of the public. I have concern that legislation will be designed and enacted by people more powerful than I, and they will do their work in a city a long way from here. Most of BC residents live west of Hope and south of Squamish. They will be the major responders to your survey and they, primarily non-rural residents, will be setting the standard s to which I in the rural area must adhere. I have great concerns on that score....
70 Recommendations 2. Public attitudes & beliefs about SaR management should be monitored.
71 Recommendations 3. Make the results of the BC SaR Public Opinion Survey widely available.
72 Recommendations 4. Encourage British Columbians interactions with the environment.
