BCWF new Conservation App makes it easy to report environmental violations such as: dumping, polluting and destruction of fish or riparian habitat.  It is easy for users to take geo-referenced, time-stamped photos or videos and to report issues related to illegal use, or abuse, of natural resources. The app works both in and out of service areas using the phone’s GPS.  Reports are sent to a secure server and then forwarded automatically to the appropriate enforcement agency. 

 Visit the BCWF Mapping Website, which is a public site that will display environmental abuses submitted by users, increasing awareness about the threats facing fish and wildlife around the province. 

When a user sends a report, they will have the ability to make the report public or confidential. The goal of making these reports public is to raise awareness to these issues and help prevent further violations. If the user chooses “public”, a moderator will then review the report to determine if it should be placed on the public website.
