A Voice on the Land:
An Indigenous Peoples' Guide to Forest Certification in
Canada
By Russell Collier, Ben Parfitt and Donovan Woollard
Published by Ecotrust Canada and the National Aboriginal Forestry
Association, November 2002
A Voice on the Land is a practical guide to forest
certification, with a particular focus on the Forest Stewardship
Council (FSC). We focus on the FSC because its Principles
and Criteria have the most detailed guidelines for bringing
Indigenous Peoples into forestry planning processes. The promise
of the FSC is strong, but Indigenous Peoples need good information
in order to ensure that FSC lives up to this promise.
Written for Indigenous leaders, technicians and community
members, our book features a step-by-step description of FSC
certification, a series of illustrative case studies, and
includes a list of important questions for different parties
to consider throughout the certification process.
You can download the report for free by following the link
below. If you would like a printed copy of the report, please
either contact Ecotrust
Canada or the National Aboriginal
Forestry Association.
Price: $18.50 + GST and $10.00 shipping & handling.

What Lies Beneath
By Doug Hopwood
Published by Ecotrust Canada, March 2002
This guidebook is intended to provide practical guidance
to First Nations technicians, researchers and decision-makers
working in the forestry sector. The goal of the book is to
provide an understanding of the key forest management issues
that arise in reviewing Forest Development Plans and it outlines
various strategies that may assist First Nations in responding
to Forest Development Plans in ways that will promote the
environmental, cultural and economic aims of their communities.
This guidebook forms an important part of a more comprehensive
"Crown-lands referrals toolbox" that will be released shortly
in partnership with the Sliammon First Nation.

SALMON NATION
People, Fish, and Our Common Home (2nd edition)
Edited by Edward C. Wolf and Seth Zuckerman.1999.
SALMON NATION takes you behind the headlines in the company
of six knowledgeable guides to a deeper understanding of the
most celebrated fish of western North America. Thoughtful
essays by Native American writer Elizabeth Woody, fisheries
biologist Jim Lichatowich, journalist Richard Manning, former
commercial fisherman Freeman House, and writer Seth Zuckerman
trace the relationship between people and salmon from the
days of abundance that sustained Northwest Coast native cultures
to the troubled world of salmon today. The authors suggest
a future of rivers restored and fishing livelihoods revived
a future still within our reach.
Geographer Dorie Brownell's full-color maps of the state
of Pacific salmon today, published here for the first time,
offer a powerful "big picture" perspective that
lends new urgency to efforts to heal the breach between people
and salmon.
This book is available in B.C. at Chapters
and the UBC Book Store. You can view an online edition
at SalmonNation.com. |

Falldown: Forest Policy in
British Columbia
By Dr. Patricia Marchak, Scott Aycock and Deborah Herbert
Published by Ecotrust Canada and the David Suzuki Foundation,
June 1999
This comprehensive report is a critical analysis of forest
policy in British Columbia. Falldown examines the legislation,
the history, and the consequences of current policy arrangements
including tenure and the setting of the Allowable Annual Cut.
It also provides detailed information about the companies,
employment trends, markets, and forest dependent communities.
Then it assesses the range of proposals for change that industry
spokespersons, academics, government commissions, non-governmental
organizations, and others have put forward over the past few
years. Finally, it recommends far-reaching reforms to protect
the forest ecosystem and to create a sustainable forest industry
in British Columbia.
Dr. Marchak's thorough analysis shows that the current management
system is not only destroying the forest base on which a healthy
forest industry depends, but is also contributing to a host
of other problems besieging B.C.'s forest economy. There is
not enough timber left to support the industry as it is now
configured, forest workers are losing their jobs, forest companies
are losing money and forest dependent communities are in a
state of economic crisis. Without fundamental reform to B.C.'s
forest policy system, these problems will persist and worsen.
The book irrefutably concludes that the choice is not between
the economy and the environment. Without nurturing and sustaining
the ecological systems of the forest, the economy that rests
on the forests will not survive. Falldown offers recommendations
for a revitalized forest and for a strong provincial forest
economy.
The 200 page book contains a set of maps, and numerous charts
and graphs to illustrate the data. It also contains a Foreword
by Dr. Wade Davis.
This book is currently out of print.

Seeing the Ocean Through the Trees:
A Conservation-based Development Strategy for Clayoquot Sound
Ecotrust Canada, 1997
This publication demonstrates for the first time that a truly
sustainable economy is within reach in one of the most hotly
contested forest ecosystems in North America - and, that the
"war in the woods" can end in Clayoquot Sound.
Ecotrust Canada's book features the first ever landscape
analysis of the findings of the Scientific Panel for Sustainable
Forestry Practices in Clayoquot Sound. After the so-called
"Clayoquot summer" of 1993 - when more than 800
people were arrested for protesting the government's land-use
decision that year - the scientific panel was asked to produce
world-class logging standards for Clayoquot Sound. The analysis
that shows that fully 20,000 cubic metres of timber per year
can be sustainably harvested from Clayoquot Sound, and the
protection of the Sound's remaining pristine watersheds can
be secured.
In addition to its findings concerning the rate of logging,
Seeing the Ocean Through the Trees includes a set of recommendations
that describe the necessary elements to move Clayoquot Sound's
economy away from its dependence on forest products towards
a truly sustainable economy. These include redrawing Clayoquot
Sound's administrative boundaries to coincide with watershed
boundaries, thus reflecting natural processes; creating a
set of community indicators for measuring socio-economic and
ecosystem health over time; and establishing a permanent development
institution to offer marketing, managerial and technical support,
and non-bank credit to local businesses, in order to promote
responsible business practices and to help grow a green market
for sustainably produced goods.
Canadian Geographic magazine described Seeing the Ocean Through
the Trees as, "Eloquent and meticulous in its research,
sensible and realistic in its recommendations, resonant in
its writing, this is a powerful, illuminating narrative that
will lift the hearts of those who despair at finding a way
through the tangled conflicts of interest that characterize
so many environmental disputes."
Price: $12 (we are now selling this book with a 40% discount
off the $20 cover price) plus GST and $10 shipping & handling

The Kawesas Watershed Assessment
Report
Interrain Pacific with the Nanakila Institute, the Haisla
Nation, Ecotrust Canada and Ecotrust, 1996.
The Kowesas Valley is a 40,494-hectare (100,000-acre) pristine
watershed located in northwestern British Columbia. It is
currently slated for logging in the year 2001 by West Fraser
Timber Co Ltd.The Kowesas Watershed Assessment report emphatically
demonstrates that the timber values in the Kowesas pale by
comparison to its ecological and cultural values and that
logging should not be allowed to occur in the Kowesas Valley.
This watershed assessment summarizes a season of field observations
by a team of respected scientists, who studied everything
from the valley’s steep and unstable terrain, to its
fish, wildlife, insect and bird populations to its archaeological
and ethnographic characteristics. Ecotrust Canada believes
it is the first comprehensive watershed assessment ever conducted
on a pristine, or unlogged valley. It shows how to take an
industry or government tool and turn it into a conservation
tool. The Kowesas Watershed Assessment sets a new benchmark
for the level of knowledge that should inform any future resource
planning in B.C.
The Kawesas Watershed Assessment is now out of print,
it is available in PDF format by following this link to Inforain. |

More Than The Sum Of Our Parks:
People, Places and a Protected Areas System for British Columbia
Ecotrust Canada and Ecotrust, 1997
We have produced a critique of B.C.’s protected areas,
especially with reference to the Park Act’s prejudice
to First Nations rights. More than the Sum of Our Parks advocates
through proposed new legislation, a better accommodation of
First Nations rights and a wholesale re-thinking of the role
of protected areas in our society.
"First Nations have always seen themselves as part of
the ecosystem or natural environment in which they live...
In the past, the establishment of parks generally resulted
in the exclusion of First Nations from their traditional territories
and the prohibition of their traditional activities."
— from More than the Sum of Our Parks
Editorial Comments by Ian Gill.
The publication includes a folded 18" x 18" map
in a back pocket that depicts the current state of B.C.’s
protected areas overlayed with First Nations land claims areas.

The Rain Forests of Home: An
Atlas of People and Place
Ecotrust, Pacific GIS and Conservation International (1995)
This unique publication is an oversized (11" x 17"),
full colour atlas that includes 24 pages of text, numerous
maps and figures analyzing the current status of Native languages
with forest cover and watershed conditions in North America’s
coastal temperate rain forest, from northern California to
southern Alaska.
The atlas documents how forest cover has changed since the
arrival of Europeans on a watershed by watershed basis, and
tracks the fate of 57 indigenous languages spoken along the
coast since the non-native settlers arrived. This bioregional
portrait uses information on forest cover and indigenous languages
as prime indicators of forest integrity and cultural diversity.
It is the first in a series of publications intended to chart
patterns of change in the coastal temperate rain forest bioregion.
Folded into the back pocket of the atlas is a 33" x
44" full colour poster depicting the original extent,
current forest status, and watershed conditions of the coastal
temperate rain forest.
