| Objective |
To prepare biophysical habitat and wildlife capability and suitability maps for the Peace Arm. Nine ungulate and bear species were considered: caribou, moose, Rocky Mountain elk, white-tailed deer, mule deer, mountain goat, Stone's sheep, grizzly bear, and black bear. |
| Methods |
Working as a team, terrain, vegetation, and wildlife experts sampled field sites. 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. |
