"description":"Environmentally Significant Areas (ESAs) are generally defined as areas that are important to the long-term maintenance of biological diversity, physical landscape features and/or other natural processes, both locally and within a larger spatial context (Jennings & Reganold 1991). This product is an update of ESAs and Aquatic ESAs previously published by the Government of Alberta. The 2014 ESA product consists of a report (http://www.albertaparks.ca/media/5425575/2014-esa-final-report-april-2014.pdf) and associated Geographic Information System (mapping) data. Please see the accompanying report, for an explanation of the Criteria and Indicators methodology used in the 2014 update. This layer includes analysis and results of all quarter sections across the province. Attributes include the ESA score, and the summed criterion scores, for each quarter section in Alberta, as well as a field indicating whether or not the quarter section qualifies as an ESA. The layers within this map service are visible at a minimum scale of 1:216,671.",
