The chilcotin ark institute is committed to creating a working landscape concept and management that sustains viable populations of species in the chilcotin ark. To do so we facilitate and conduct research, conservation projects and evergreen stewardship plans in the ark. We promote responsible resource and land management guided by the evergreen stewardship plans. For this we encourage all entities and governments to take responsibility like the federal, provincial and regional government, first nations, land owners, farmers, ranchers, guide outfitters, tourism operators, forestry and mining. The tool we use for measuring the success of our conservation efforts is to achieve maximum wildlife population numbers for the habitat's potential carrying capacity, this being the indicator for sustainable land management.
