Logging Paused in A La Peche Caribou Range, Conservation Groups Call for Long-term Protection
Organization
West Fraser Hinton paused its controversial clearcut logging plan in critical habitat of the threatened A La Peche caribou in west-central Alberta, following the province’s creation of a temporary “No Harvest Zone” until it finishes its land-use plan for the area.
The decision comes after months of opposition from local trappers, the Mountain Métis community, the conservation community and concerned Albertans.

Review of Alberta's Integrated Land Management Policies, Practices and Legislation
This initiative evaluated several cases of the latest efforts in resource and land policy integration, combined with a literature review, and interviews with 32 subject matter experts (SME’s) from Indigenous communities, academia, forest and energy sectors, government, Alberta Energy Regulator, and environmental organizations to develop specific recommendations for Alberta to overcome conflicting implementation forces and barriers.
Recommendations are presented to place Integrated Land Management in the right context on how development will occur, not on the decision of whether it occurs. By using the appropriate context, ILM can advance at operational and tactical scales to:
1. reduce industrial footprint through collaboration
2. produce better outcomes
3. provide provisional steps to follow to produce landscape level access plans
