Vancouver Island Region Wildlife

The Wildlife Program's vision is to 'Maintain British Columbia's Wildlife Heritage'. The purpose of the Wildlife Program is to encourage the appreciation of diverse values of wildlife while ensuring that the province's wildlife heritage is passed on in undiminished splendour and value to future generations. The Wildlife Program works to achieve the following goals:

• Maintain diversity and abundance of native species and habitats throughout British Columbia.
• Provide a variety of opportunities for the use and enjoyment of wildlife.
• People and wildlife living in harmony (a balance between meeting the needs of wildlife and the needs of people).
