Welcome
to the Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management in the The Cariboo Region is extremely diverse. It includes the dry grassland expanse of the Chilcotin Plateau and the interior rainforest of the Cariboo Mountains. The Cariboo is also home to a great range of fish and wildlife species. They include California bighorn sheep that inhabit the lower elevation near the Fraser River, and Mountain Caribou that are found in the mountains to the east. The historic Horsefly River provides spawning habitat for a large and important sockeye salmon run. The Cariboo relies heavily on its natural resources: forestry, agriculture, mining, and tourism are the mainstays of the region's economy. The forest industry is the largest in the region, producing over 1.8 billion board feet of lumber annually and directly employing 4800 people. The Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management, Cariboo Region, has as its mission: To provide timely and cost-effective leadership, co-ordination, and support for land and resource planning and monitoring, and information which support regional economic development opportunities while ensuring environmental standards are addressed. The Cariboo is fortunate to have in place the Cariboo-Chilcotin Land Use Plan (CCLUP), which is a "made-in-the-Cariboo" plan for balancing social, environmental, and economic needs. The CCLUP guides the Sustainable Resource Management Plans, or SRMPs, which are currently underway or completed in each forest district in the region. Considerable social, economic, and environmental security has been achieved as a result of the CCLUP and the SRMPs. More about the Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management
