These tabular datasets are the result of an analysis completed for the 'Protected Lands & Waters in B.C.' indicator published on Environmental Reporting BC in June 2016. The data include: 1. The number and total area (hectares and percent) of B.C. land and waters covered by protected area...

This dataset supports the 'Trends in the Status of Native Vertebrate Species in B.C. (1992-2012)' indicator published by Environmental Reporting BC in 2014. The data include the conservation status rank as assessed by the BC Conservation Data Centre, for every vertebrate species used in the...

This tabular dataset is the result of an analysis supporting the indicator 'Change in Sea Level in B.C. (1910-2014)' published in Indicators of Climate Change for British Columbia (2015-16 Update) and on Environmental Reporting BC. The analysis used sea level monitoring data for B.C. available...

This tabular dataset is the result of an analysis completed for the Roads & Roadless Areas in B.C. indicator published on Environmental Reporting BC. Roaded and roadless areas were determined using the B.C. Digital Road Atlas, the best available single source of road data for British...

These tabular datasets are the result of an analysis completed for the 'Land Designations that Contribute to Conservation in B.C.' indicator published on Environmental Reporting BC. Land designations that contribute to conservation are spatially-defined areas established through legislation or...

The B.C. copper water quality guideline (WQG) for the protection of aquatic life was updated in 2019 and now uses a biotic ligand model (BLM) to account for site specific toxicity modifying factors such as pH, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and hardness. The B.C. copper BLM software, available on...

This tabular dataset contains the results reported in the 'Trends in Ecosystem Protection through Establishment of BC Parks and Protected Areas (2012)' indicator published by Environmental Reporting BC. The results dataset includes biogeoclimatic zone and area coverage by established BC Parks and...

This dataset contains the results reported for the Trends in Timber Harvesting indicator published on Environmental Reporting BC. The Timber Harvesting Indicator illustrates how much timber is harvested annually and how the actual timber harvest compares with the Allowable Annual Cut (AAC). The...
