Description
In order to assist in project planning, Alberta Environment and Parks is providing a Wildlife Habitat Sensitivity Map. The goal of this document is to help guide the site selection process to areas with lower risk to Alberta’s wildlife and wildlife habitat. The map was developed in concert with the Wildlife Directive for Alberta Wind Energy Projects and Wildlife Guidelines for Alberta Solar Energy Projects and reflects potential risks to wildlife and wildlife habitat. An accompanying document is available that dictates how to use and interpret the map. This map should not be interpreted as a regulatory map, but as a pre-planning tool. Proponents are encouraged to contact their local Alberta Environment and Parks Wildlife Biologist for more information on areas of interest.
