How is B.C.’s beetle epidemic being addressed?
The beetle battle is being fought on many fronts. The Province of British Columbia has a multi-faceted action plan to deal with the short-term consequences of the epidemic, while also working to sustain the well-being of the economy, environment and communities over the long term. British Columbia’s Mountain Pine Beetle Action Plan for 2006-2011 guides provincial responses and helps coordinate all levels of government, communities, First Nations, industries and other stakeholders working to mitigate impacts of the epidemic.
