Protected area in British Columbia, Canada
Gladys Lake Ecological Reserve is an ecological reserve located in the Eaglenest Range of the Spatsizi Plateau in north-central British Columbia, Canada. It was established in 1975 under the Ecological Reserves Act to facilitate scientific research of the region's alpine-subalpine ecosystems while discouraging outdoor recreation use.[2] The reserve protects 44,098 hectares (108,970 acres) of pristine wilderness and is the largest ecological reserve in British Columbia.[3]
Geography
The reserve is an enclave within the larger Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Provincial Park, though with stricter protections and limited public access.
