Ecological
reserves are areas in British Columbia selected to preserve
representative and special natural ecosystems, plant
and animal species, features and phenomena. The key

maintenance of biological diversity and the protection
of genetic materials. Scientific research is one of
the principle uses of ecological reserves in British
Columbia. Click
