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. Mountain Goat and Sheep Ranges were determined from both observations (telemetry and aerial sheep/goat surveys) and habitat suitability indexes. Goat and sheep ranges have been buffered by 800m to derive zones. Range delineation encompasses use during all seasons.To identify goat and sheep ranges in an effort to: a) avoid land use disturbances that may have a direct or indirect adverse effect on the behavior of the animals, and b) avoid permanent alteration of physical habitat conditions.
Purpose:
To provide the general public, industrial operators and government departments information regarding the location of  mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus) and bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) ranges. Specific operating conditions apply to the Goat and Sheep Ranges.
Supplemental_Information:
Mountain Goat and Sheep Range distributions have been endorsed by Alberta Environment and Parks.
