The B.C. government is adding $72 million to its budget for wildfire recovery and fire prevention after the record forest fire season of 2017. With wild animals affected by fire and resource roads throughout the Interior, Finance Minister Carole James’ budget also includes $9 million to hire 20 more Conservation Officers and increase programs to reduce human-wildlife conflict. An additional $14 million over three years goes toward improved wildlife management and habitat protection.
