SIMFOR and the Centre for Applied Conservation Research (CACR) have been involved in a number of research projects throughout British Columbia. Projects have largely focused on timber harvesting policy and its potential effects on different aspects of biodiversity. The use of a Criterion and Indicator (C&I) approach has been introduced to recent SIMFOR projects. The C&I approach differs from other management strategies as it is explicitly objective-based, utilizing clearly defined management criteria (objectives) and indicators. Profiled here is an example of such a project - a habitat analysis for a research initiative between the University of British Columbia and the Arrow Innovative Forest Practices Agreement (IFPA). Also given is a list of publications and links to present and past SIMFOR projects.
