Audit finds B.C.'s forest management hurt by flawed data without clear methodology

An audit has found that British Columbia’s government did not have a clear method for calculating the carbon being stored or released in provincial forests, which undermined the credibility in reporting from the Forests Ministry.The Office of the Auditor-General of B.C. says in the report that defined methodologies to calculate forest carbon projections were not used for decisions such as the determining annual allowable timber cutting.
