High Conservation Value Forests are those that possess one or more of the following attributes: a) forest areas containing globally, regionally or nationally significant: i. concentrations of biodiversity values (e.g. endemism, endangered species, refugia); and/or ii.large landscape level forests, contained within, or containing the management unit, where viable populations of most if not all naturally occurring species exist in natural patterns of distribution and abundance b) forest areas that are in or contain rare, threatened or endangered ecosystems c) forest areas that provide basic services of nature in critical situations (e.g. watershed protection, erosion control) d) forest areas fundamental to meeting basic needs of local communities (e.g. subsistence, health) and/or critical to local communities' traditional cultural identity (areas of cultural, ecological, economic or religious significance identified in cooperation with such local communities). 2, record 4, English, - high%20conservation%20value%20forest

What would constitute excessive cumulative effects of hydroelectric dams in the three provinces surrounding Hudson Bay? How many people is enough for the planetary norms to sustain? In answering these questions, much more than biodiversity values/functions are at stake since the destruction or collapse of norms locally, regionally or even globally can have major impacts upon the economies (i.e. the efficiencies and success of natural systems in creating and maintaining the ecosphere) of nature and humans alike. 1, record 5, English, - planetary%20norm

Quelle surface de prairie naturelle peut-on convertir en monoculture agricole? Quelle surface de forêt peut-on soumettre à une coupe à blanc en Colombie-Britannique? Quel degré d’exploitation des Grands Bancs constitue une surexploitation? Quel impact cumulatif doit être considéré comme excessif pour les barrages hydroélectriques des trois provinces riveraines de la baie d’Hudson? Quelle population humaine la norme planétaire peut-elle tolérer de façon durable? La réponse à ces questions met en jeu beaucoup plus que les fonctions et valeurs de la biodiversité, car la destruction ou l'effondrement d’une situation normale à l'échelle planétaire, régionale ou même locale peut avoir un impact considérable autant sur l'économie de la nature(c'est-à-dire sur la capacité ou le rendement des systèmes naturels quant à la création et au maintien de l'écosphère) que sur l'économie humaine. 1, record 5, French, - norme%20plan%C3%A9taire
