Description: This layer represents the Key Wildlife and Biodiversity Zone polygon outline with an outline to provide the general public, industrial operators and government departments information regarding the location of Key Wildlife and Biodiversity zones. Specific operating conditions apply to this zone. The layer symbology is not visible beyond the scale of 1:6,933,486, with its labels not visible beyond the scale of 1:1,733,371.This layer has labels visible at 1:1,733,371 with their symbolization controlled by visual optimized scale ranges.The Key Wildlife and Biodiversity Zone polygon area outline has symbology controlled by scale-enabled properties controlled by visual optimized scale ranges starting at the scale of 1:6,933,486.The source 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. 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.
