Description: This layer represents the outline information provided to the general public, industrial operators and government departments regarding the location of Key Wildlife and Biodiversity zones. Specific operating conditions apply to this zone. The Key Wildlife and Biodiversity Zone is a combination of key wildlife habitat from both uplands and major watercourse valleys.The basis of this zone was determined using major river corridors, valley topography, valley slope breaks and ungulate winter densities. The Key Wildlife and Biodiversity Zone is intended to prevent loss and fragmentation of habitat; prevent short and long-term all-weather public vehicle access; prevent sensory disturbance during periods of thermal or nutritional stress on wildlife; and prevent the development of barriers to wildlife corridors (e.g. stream crossings). Note that this layer is a consolidation of previous Key Ungulate Areas, Key Ungulate Winter ranges, and Class C - Key Wildlife and Watercourse areas.
