This information is useful in operational planning and decision making to support consideration of material adverse effect. This dataset includes a disturbance metric for Wildlife Habitat Areas (WHA) and Ungulate Winter Ranges (UWR). The dataset reports percentage disturbance at the WHA and UWR level and identifies areas as being low, medium, or high risk, depending on the level of disturbance. This information supports consideration of WHA and UWR in decision making under the Environmental Protection and Management Regulation. Field validation of this data is encouraged in development planning. The Wildlife Annual Status dataset was initially developed by the BC Energy Regulator for consideration disturbance within WHA and UWR in Northeast BC. Data was derived from the provincial <A href="https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/wildlife-habitat-areas-approved" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;">WHA</A> and <A href="https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/ungulate-winter-range-approved" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;">UWR</A> datasets. Disturbance is estimated using the BCER Surface Land Use data that is updated annually. The risk status is calculated differently for WHA and UWR, and for small and large Wildlife Habitat Areas. Details as follows: Wildlife Habitat AreaLow Risk WHA Intactness >=98% for small WHA (<=100ha)Intactness >=97% for large WHA (>100ha) Medium Risk WHA Intactness >= 95% and < 98% for small WHA Intactness >= 90% and < 97 % for large WHA High Risk WHA Intactness <95% for small WHA Intactness <90% for large WHA Ungulate Winter RangeLow risk UWR Intactness >=95% for UWR Medium Risk UWR Intactness >= 85% and < 95% for UWR High Risk UWR Intactness <85 for UWR Data Properties<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>Attributes / Column Name</TD><TD>Field Alias</TD><TD>Data Type</TD><TD>Data Precision</TD><TD>Comments</TD></TR><TR><TD>OBJECTID</TD><TD>Object ID</TD><TD>Object ID</TD><TD></TD><TD>Unique row number auto generated by database</TD></TR><TR><TD>SHAPE</TD><TD>Shape</TD><TD>Geometry (Polygon)</TD><TD></TD><TD></TD></TR><TR><TD>SHAPE.AREA</TD><TD></TD><TD>Double</TD><TD></TD><TD>Area auto calculated by database (m2)</TD></TR><TR><TD>SHAPE.LEN</TD><TD></TD><TD>Double</TD><TD></TD><TD>Polygon perimeter auto calculated by database (m)</TD></TR><TR><TD>AREA_ID</TD><TD>Area Identifier </TD><TD>Text</TD><TD></TD><TD>This field is based on the WHA or UWR tag assigned by government to each designated area.
