Please note: Contrary to the entry here, the Great Bear Rainforest agreement did not create a "Park," which is a specific designation that includes restrictions on hunting, road-building, development and resource extraction.

Instead, the agreement has created a series of protected areas called "conservancies," in which hunting, road-building, and certain kinds of development may be allowed. The conservancies do not comprise one contiguous unit; rather, they are a small areas scattered across the Central Coast. Most of the conservancies have not yet been officially designated by the British Columbia government.
