B.C. gets C grade for preserving wild areas
Although B.C. has created 60 new protected parks in the past year, it received a grade of C from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), on its environmental "report card" this year. The WWF explained that B.C.'s protection policy does not include a fair representation of the landscape of the province. It includes too many areas of rock and ice, and not enough forested valley bottom landscapes. The report cards are issued each year to Canadian provinces and they assess that province's success at establishing protected areas that represent biological and landscape diversity.
