The Greater Sage-grouse Recovery Zone provides the general public, industrial operators and government departments with information on the location of vital habitats and areas necessary to protect and recover Greater Sage-grouse in Alberta. The amended area works in conjunction with the Greater Sage-grouse Core Area to contains the majority of sagegrouse activity, known nest locations, important habitats and lek sites. The Recovery Zone boundaries cover off known gaps in the Core Area that have good sage-grouse habitat or records of use from translocated hens (nests, brood observations, winter use). Land use activities directly and indirectly contribute to disturbance of sage-grouse and degradation of their habitats, decreasing the effectiveness and likelihood of Sage-grouse recovery in Alberta.This dataset refines the previous Greater Sage-grouse Range and more accurately represents the recovery area of Sage-grouse in Alberta following provincial and federal recovery plans and strategies, and provides greater certainty for users and proponents to identify areas where specific land use conditions apply. In combination with the Greater Sagegrouse Core Area, this Greater Sage-grouse Recovery Zone dataset supports the implementation of necessary land use guidelines, standards and conditions that incorporate the sensitive nature of this species and enable species conservation and recovery.Description:The Greater Sage-grouse Recovery Zone datasetrepresents the core area for Sage-grouse activity in Alberta and is an amalgamation of various data sources, including: observation records from the Government of Alberta\u2019s Fisheries and Wildlife Management Information System (FWMIS), sagegrouse movement information, locations of known leks (i.e., dancing grounds), portions of federally identified critical habitat and other important habitats. Observational records from FWMIS included fifty years of survey and research data collected by provincial wildlife biologists, nongovernmental organizations, and independent researchers. The Greater Sage-grouse Recovery Zone amalgamates the Greater Sage-grouse Range and Greater Sage-grouse Habitat and Buffer datasets, including lek and habitat information, which identifies habitat areas for nesting, broodrearing, and over-wintering. Locations of all leks were generated from UTM coordinates collected from Alberta Environment and Parks,researchers, andthe FWMIS. Lek centroids werebuffered by 100 metresto approximate lek sizeand an additional 3,200 meters buffer was then applied based on established research on impacts of disturbance to lek attendance. Locations from radio-collared and translocated Sage-grouse females (years: 2011, 2012, 2016, 2019) were also included to identify habitats and areas important during sensitive periods of the species' annual life cycle. The Greater Sage-grouse Recovery Zone paritally incorporates federally identified critical habitat. Areas that have been permanently converted to agricultural land were not included as they do not offer the specific habitat that Greater Sage-grouse could utilize. The resulting single contiguous polygon was reviewed by Alberta Environment and Parks' species experts to validate and provide additional insight.Credits:There are no credits for this item.Use limitations This material has been provided with the intent that it be readily available for personal and public non-commercial (educational) use and except where otherwise prohibited, may be reproduced, in part or in whole and by any means, without charge or further permission from the Fish and Wildlife Stewardship Branch.

Specific operating conditions apply to caribou rangesDescription :This dataset is produced for the Government of Alberta and is available to the general public. Please consult the Distribution Information of this metadata for the appropriate contact to acquire this dataset. This dataset is comprised of the provincial Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) Range distribution data. The boundaries are derived upon the known ranges of Caribou herds, as determined through historical information, the movements of collared animals (telemetry) and aerial surveys. This new map has been used to communicate the extent of caribou range in the province for important initiatives such as the Alberta cabinet approved Woodland Caribou Policy for Alberta, and the Federal Recovery Strategy for both boreal and southern mountain woodland caribou. This caribou range map will be adopted as the land-use referral map for all land-use applications on April 1, 2013. Beginning April 1, 2013 projects that have received an EPEA approval using the updated Caribou Range map, and all other land use and forestry applications, will use the updated Caribou Range map for required disposition applications.Credits:There are no credits for this item.Use limitations The Wildlife Sensitivity data is available free of a charge as a service to Albertans. These wildlife feature layers provide industrial operators, government departments and the general public with the best information currently available on the extent of wildlife sensitivities. A few items should be highlighted on the issue of data usage. Wildlife Management of Alberta Environment and Parks, Government of Alberta asks that any liability for any misuse or misinterpretation of the data, should the data be inappropriately mapped, is the responsibility of the user. Additionally it is the user's responsibility to ensure that the most up-to date and correct data is used. Alberta Environment and Parks reserves the right to update and change the Wildlife Sensitivity data. Finally, while all users are free to download and use the Wildlife Sensitivity data for information and planning uses (e.g., reports to clients), we ask that digital and hard copy maps (other than those used for client reports) are not be distributed for commercial purposes.Surface Mineable Area Summary:The SMA is the only area within the province where oil sands are close enough to surface to allow for surface mining.Description:The Surface Mineable Area (SMA) feature class polygons represent an Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) administrative boundary that identifies the geographic extent of oil sands resources where it is presumed that the primary resource recovery method will be through surface mining methods rather than in-situ bitumen recovery.The SMA feature class polygons also represent surface access restrictions dependant on specified mineral activities.Credits Alberta Energy, Government of AlbertaHeritage Rangelands:Summary:This dataset provides users with GIS ready polygonal representation of all the Parks and Protected Areas in the province of Alberta, and is suitable for indexing or analysis purposes. It is provided for use for Government of Alberta staff and the general public.Description The Parks and Protected Areas dataset contains Parks and Protected Area boundaries for sites administered by Alberta Forestry, Parks and Tourism, Government of Alberta. National parks, because of their similar intent, are also included. Boundaries have been interpreted from written legal descriptions appended to Orders-in-Council. In case of discrepancy between the GIS data and the written legal description, the written legal description shall take precedence. Please note that this dataset replaces the following datasets: Ecological Reserve, Heritage Rangeland, National Park, Natural Area, Provincial Park, Provincial Recreation Area, Wilderness Area, Wilderness Park, and Wildland Park.Provincial Grazing Dispositions:Summary:This dataset provides GIS data not suitable for indexing and analysis purposes. The dataset contains polygons representing the location of active surface grazing leases/permits disposition types in the Geographic Land Information Management Planning System (GLIMPS).Description:This dataset is produced for Alberta Environment and Parks by the Geographic Science Team to represent a derived product show the approximate locations of grazing leases and permits in Alberta and should not be used for anything other than simple mapping.Credits:Alberta Environment and Parks, Government of Alberta Use limitations:This data should only be used as a rough approximation of the locations of grazing leases and grazing permits in the province of Alberta and should not be used for analysis..... This product represents a derived boundary and is only to be used for simple mapping.....Surface Ownership:Summary:This dataset provides the user with a snapshot view of Crown and Non Crown land within the province of Alberta. Non-Crown includes (private/federal/indigenous/municipal lands) and Crown includes (provincial titled and non titled lands).Description:This product is a simple representation of the ownership breakdown of surface lands within the province of Alberta",
