August Sunset-3D Panorama. Great Bear Rainforest. Geography[edit] The size of the Great Bear Rainforest, also called the North and Central Coast land use planning area or the Central and North Coast LRMP area, is roughly 32,000 km2 (12,000 sq mi).[6] As part of the 2006 North and Central Coast Land Use Decision three new land use zones were created: Protected Areas; Biodiversity, Mining and Tourism Areas (BMTAs); and Ecosystem-based Management Operating Areas (EBMs).
As of 2009, approximately 16,000 km2 (6,200 sq mi) of the region has been designated as protected areas (in a form called conservancies[7]), and 3,000 km2 (1,200 sq mi) as BMTAs. Commercial timber harvesting and commercial hydro-electric power projects are prohibited within BMTAs.[8][9] The Great Bear Rainforest extends from the Discovery Islands in the south to the BC-Alaska boundary in the north.
It includes all offshore islands within this range except Vancouver Island and the archipelago of Haida Gwaii.
