How effective has the SEI been?
How effective has the SEI been in influencing conservation-based land use decision making?
This is the question that a team of consultants from Axys Environmental Consulting Ltd. are addressing as part of an evaluation of the Sensitive Ecosystems Inventory. The Axys team will be interviewing a cross-section of potential users throughout the study area beginning in mid October.
We want to know if the SEI has been effective in influencing conservation-based land-use decisions. We want on the ground proof that SEI is effective, or not, as the case may be. Of equal importance to us is learning where the SEI has not been used and why.
We also want to know who is using the SEI and would like details on how it is being used. In addition, we will be asking SEI users to rate the various products and services we offer. This will help guide us as we begin to develop outreach materials and services for the Sunshine Coast SEI.
Axys are also looking for success stories—examples of how the SEI has been used to gain protection of a sensitive ecosystem. If you have any examples of success stories that you would like to share, please contact the Canadian Wildlife Service or Axys Environmental (see below).
For more information contact Peggy Ward, Canadian Wildlife Service Peggy.Ward@ec.gc.ca, (250) 752-9611, or Marcy Sangret, Axys Environmental, msangret@axys.net or (250) 656-7966.
