A presentation of the findings from Phase 2 of the Ghost River Watershed Cumulative Effects Study prepared for the Ghost Watershed Alliance Society and completed in 2012 by the Alces Group.  It shows a summary of the Business As Usual Land Use Trajectory and compares it with Beneficial Management Practices.This video contrasts the performance of key indiccators in a scenario that deploys beneficial management practices in  comparison to business as usual scenario.

This presentation underscores the importance of beneficial management practices but also reveals that BMPs themselves are unlikely to create a landscape where indicator performance is acceptable. BMPs will need to be deployed within a management framework where management objectives, thresholds, trade-offs are defined.
