BCPRP Caribou Protection - Type 1

The Boreal Caribou Protection and Recovery Plan (BCPRP) Management Zones (CARIBOU_MGMT_ZONES_PY) geographic dataset was created to support planning, engagement and management in the heard and habitat recovery of the Boreal Caribou1. There are four (4) management zones (MGMT_ZONE) that include MGMT Type 1: Full Protection – Core, MGMT Type 2: Full Protection Forestry; Conditional Petroleum & Natural Gas – Core, MGMT Type 3: Conditional Forestry; Conditional Petroleum & Natural Gas – Core and MGMT Type 4: Conditional Development – Matrix. The following table, extracted from Boreal Caribou Protection and Recovery Plan (2002)1, describes the intent and measures for each of the management types. Management Type Intent Measures 1 Full habitat protection across all industries Top restoration priority No new subsurface and surface tenure disposition No new surface disturbance Reclamation and restoration of legacy disturbance permitted through appropriate regulatory mechanisms 2 Full protection from forest harvest Conditional petroleum and natural gas development Secondary restoration priority No new subsurface and surface tenure disposition No new surface disturbance Maintain access to petroleum and natural gas resources within existing industrial footprint 3 Conditional forest harvest Conditional petroleum and natural gas development Lowest restoration priority No new subsurface and surface tenure disposition Petroleum and natural gas activities will be subject to updated Planning and Operational Measures Forest harvest will be subject to updated General Wildlife Measures (GWMs). 4 Conditional forest harvest Conditional petroleum and natural gas development Petroleum and natural gas activities will be subject to updated Planning and Operational Measures Forest harvest will be subject to GWMs. https://engage.gov.bc.ca/app/uploads/sites/373/2022/04/BCPRP_DRAFT_MAR2022.pdf Additional information regarding the BCPRP can be found on the Province of British Columbia’s website at Boreal Caribou Protection & Recovery Plan (gov.bc.ca) Data Properties Attributes / Column Name Field Alias Data Type Data Precision Comments OBJECTID Object ID SHAPE Geometry (Polygon) SHAPE.LEN Double Polygon perimeter in meters automatically calculated by database.
