Kitlope Heritage Conservancy

The Kitlope Heritage Conservancy is a large protected conservancy on the Pacific coast of British Columbia, Canada, lying within the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District. It preserves the largest continuous tract of coastal temperate rainforest in the world, a coastal ecosystem that has been heavily logged elsewhere in southern British Columbia. Beginning at the head of the Gardner Canal, the conservancy reaches inland along the Kitlope River and connects to a broader network of protected wilderness along the province's central coast. The conservancy is defined as much by its cultural significance as by its ecology. The Haisla people consider the Kitlope their ancestral homeland, and the Indigenous name Huchsduwachsdu Nuyem Jees means "source of milky blue waters." The area was protected after a campaign in which the Haisla partnered with conservation organizations to persuade a logging company to relinquish its leases, and the resulting protected area is now co-managed by BC Parks and the Haisla Nation. In a broader sense, the Kitlope is a flagship landscape within what has come to be known as the Great Bear Rainforest, a network of coastal temperate rainforest that stretches along the central and north coast of British Columbia. The conservancy was the first major portion of that forested region to receive formal protection, and it remains a defining benchmark for the conservation of coastal rainforest ecosystems in North America.
