Grizzly Bear - Data - Howe Sound Cumulative Effects

About this dataset

Data representing the Howe Sound Cumulative Effects Project area in British Columbia: six key Grizzly Bear population and habitat indicators (population status, human-caused mortality, hunter day density, front-country in habitat, capable secure core area, and mid-seral dense conifer stands in habitat); five supplemental Grizzly Bear population and habitat factors (bear density, road density, quality food, capable habitat protected, and front/back-country encounter classification); and other supplemental environmental information. The conceptual model used for this assessment is derived from the Interim Assessment Protocol for Grizzly Bear in British Columbia (Tier 1 Provincial Scale Grizzly Bear Assessment Protocol) Standards for British Columbia’s Cumulative Effects Framework Values Foundation, 2017 (https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/environment/natural-resource-stewardship/cumulative-effects-framework/values). The data inputs used in the GIS analysis that generated this assessment dataset are from 2015. The Data and Resources section below includes layers evaluated by landscape units, and the Front Country, Back Country and Encounter Classification layer.
