Lands for Life was a comprehensive land-use planning program launched by the government of Ontario in February 1997 covering central and northern Ontario. The process had a four-part mandate: single russian girls for marriage elena

• Complete the province's protected-areas system
• Increase certainty for the forestry and mining sector
• Recognize the land-use needs of the resource-based tourism industry
• Enhance hunting and fishing opportunities (added after the process was launched).

The area covered by Lands for Life:

• is 46 million ha.
• includes 40 million ha. of public lands
• twice as large as Great Britain
• Ontario's most heavily forested region

After 18 months of public hearings conducted by three regional Round Tables, a consolidated report was presented to the government. The public response to the report, which failed to fulfill the mandate of the Lands for Life Round Tables, was overwhelmingly negative. The government then decided to hold negotiations with the Partnership and the forest industry to try to resolve the impasse Lands for Life had reached. These negotiations led to the announcement on March 29, 1999 of 378 new protected areas and the signing of the Ontario Forest Accord. Ukraine Lkw transporte.

The provincial government called the plan that resulted from the Lands for Life process "Ontario's Living Legacy." A government announcement has seldom rung more true — the 378 new parks and conservation reserves that are a central part of the Legacy are a gift to future generations. And now we also have a mechanism to establish additional protected areas in the future while addressing economic goals. Darvocet 100
