Abstract:
This 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. 
This dataset is comprised of the provincial Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) Range distribution data. The boundaries are derived upon the known ranges of Caribou herds, as determined through historical information, the movements of collared animals (telemetry) and aerial surveys. This new map has been used to communicate the extent of caribou range in the province for important initiatives such as the Alberta cabinet approved Woodland Caribou Policy for Alberta, and the Federal Recovery Strategy for both boreal and southern mountain woodland caribou. This caribou range map will be adopted as the land-use referral map for all land-use applications on April 1, 2013. Beginning April 1, 2013 projects that have received an EPEA approval using the updated Caribou Range map, and all other land use and forestry applications, will use the updated Caribou Range map for required disposition applications.
Purpose:
This dataset provides the general public, industrial operators and government departments information regarding the location of caribou ranges. Specific operating conditions apply to caribou ranges
Supplemental_Information:
Caribou range distributions have been endorsed by Alberta Environment and Parks, Government of Alberta.

Use_Constraints:
The Wildlife Sensitivity data is available free of a charge as a service to Albertans. These wildlife feature layers provide industrial operators, government departments and the general public with the best information currently available on the extent of wildlife sensitivities. A few items should be highlighted on the issue of data usage. Wildlife Management of Alberta Environment and Parks, Government of Alberta asks that any liability for any misuse or misinterpretation of the data, should the data be inappropriately mapped, is the responsibility of the user. Additionally it is the user's responsibility to ensure that the most up-to date and correct data is used. Alberta Environment and Parks reserves the right to update and change the Wildlife Sensitivity data. Finally, while all users are free to download and use the Wildlife Sensitivity data for information and planning uses (e.g., reports to clients), we ask that digital and hard copy maps (other than those used for client reports) are not be distributed for commercial purposes.
