EIRS (Environmental Information Resources System for Biodiversity) is a document and file management system that allows users access to environmental information in various formats. The reports and publications contained in the e-library system are produced by or for the Province of British Columbia (solely or in partnership). Associated files are included whenever possible (e.g., images, maps).

B.C. is Canada’s most biologically diverse province or territory. Our more than 95 million hectares contain a rich variety of habitats.
Some of these ecosystems, such as boreal forest, occur elsewhere. But others are unique. B.C.’s abundance of wildlife species is due to its ecological variety.
