To prepare biophysical habitat and wildlife capability and suitability maps for an area within the Omineca River drainage. Eight wildlife species were considered: caribou, moose, Rocky Mountain elk, white-tailed deer, mountain goat, Stone's sheep, grizzly bear, and marten.

Omineca River drainage; area encompassed by all or parts of seven 1:50,000 NTS map sheets (93N/8, 9,10,11 [north half], 14 [south half], 15, and 16).

Working as a team, terrain, vegetation, and wildlife experts sampled 126 sites (92 full and 34 reconnaissance-level plots). At each site, information on environmental features, terrain, soil, vegetation, and wildlife use was recorded. Site data, in conjunction with existing information and air photo interpretation, were used to describe and map terrain and biophysical habitat units for the study area. These units were then classified for their capability and suitability for the various wildlife species.
