Triple Bottom Line

Social Development

"Much like our traditional economies where we utilized the forest for homes, clothing,  medicinal, cultural purposes, trade and commerce. Wealth from Forests ensures that our communities continue this history of adding value to our wood. This FNFC program supports empowering First Nations people through creating meaningful employment and economic opportunities. This in turn supports the quality of life in First Nations communities.”
— BC AFN Regional Chief Shawn A-in-chut Atleo

Environmental Stewardship

"Protecting forests and biodiversity are about sustaining communities; they are not mutually exclusive. The [WFF] program allows for this vision of sustainability to be realized.”
— Ian McAllister, Conservation Director for the BC-based environmental group Pacific Wild

Economic Development

"The 21st century marks a time in our history where the environment is telling all mankind we must move to a more sustainable and sensible approach to managing our resources. I believe [WFF] can represent the collective voices of BC First Nations when it comes to managing the forests in a sustainable manner. We owe to our children and grandchildren to make things right for the benefit of all mankind.”
— Ted Williams, Cowichan Author, "BC First Nations Economic Development Strategy”
