Superabundance of natural resources attracted European settlers to British Columbia in the early nineteenth century. Before then, native Indians had lived here for thousands of years, developing a lifestyle and culture that was greatly influenced by these natural resources. Within the following century, the province's population increased to a million people and the settlers developed a thriving economy based on the forest, mineral, fisheries, agricultural, hydro power and recreational resources of the province. Slowly at first but with increasing frequency in the last twenty years, major conflicts have emerged between resource users, and it has become questionable how much longer the increasing rates of resource exploitation can be sustained. In the 1970s, political conflict over the environment emerged as a major issue in British Columbia, as it did throughout the world. Concerns which had existed for many years about the conservation of natural resources and the control of pollution suddenly took on a new and farreaching significance. In part this was a result of the increasingly blatant evidence —• often in the form of smog and polluted lakes and rivers — of the detrimental consequences of unrestrained economic growth. These impressions were reinforced by scientific studies of less obvious problems that suggested damage to ecosystems and human health could be much greater than previously appreciated (for example, evidence of how the pesticide DDT was accumulating in animal and human tissue). Other studies, such as Limits to Growth (Meadows et al., 1972), predicted that, if left unchecked, pollution could impose limits on economic growth long before resources began to run out. At the same time, an increasingly prosperous society became more interested in health and in recreational activities that were dependent on the preservation of environmental
