the second annual Great Bear Rainforest Report Card gives the BC government dismal grades on most aspects of its commitment to uphold the precedent-setting April 2001 agreement. The groups had little choice but to award dismal grades on protection, planning and ecological management, First Nations' rights and forest policy. While the government fared slightly better this year in the areas of science and managing economic change, the overall trend is still disappointing.
