The following charts the path from conflict to consensus and explains how an unprecedented conservation outcome in the Great Bear Rainforest was achieved by its people and communities and how this will continue into the future. Of course the story wouldn’t be complete without considering the lessons learned along the way; it concludes with an overview of what the experience and the process taught those involved. These lessons inform the continued collaboration between those involved in implementing the rainforest plan announced in March 2009, and they should prove useful for people elsewhere where high conservations value forests are at risk.
