Abstract: The Grizzly Bear Recovery Zone is the geographic extent of Alberta which indicates the intention of the Government of Alberta to recover grizzly bears. The Recovery Zone is also be a priority for attractant management, management of other sources of human-bear conflict, and building public education, awareness, and understanding of grizzly bears and their recovery. The Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan Management Zones dataset contains four layers: Grizzly Bear Core Access Management Area, Grizzly Bear Secondary Access Management Area, Grizzly Bear Habitat Linkage, and Grizzly Bear Support Zone. Please see the individual metadata records for additional details on each layer.

Abstract:
The Grizzly Bear Recovery Zone is the geographic extent of Alberta which indicates the intention of the
Government of Alberta to recover grizzly bears. The Recovery Zone is also be a priority for attractant
management, management of other sources of human-bear conflict, and building public education, awareness,
and understanding of grizzly bears and their recovery. The Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan Management Zones
dataset contains four layers: Grizzly Bear Core Access Management Area, Grizzly Bear Secondary Access
Management Area, Grizzly Bear Habitat Linkage, and Grizzly Bear Support Zone. Please see the individual
metadata records for additional details on each layer.
Purpose:
The Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan Management Zones dataset provides a spatial representation of the proposed
Recovery, Support, and Habitat Linkage Zones as described in the Alberta Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan. These
zones are not regulatory, but are a useful tool for targeting and prioritizing management.

Statement:
Grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) zone delineations are based upon agreed upon grizzly bear core and
secondary grizzly bear watershed units determined by Alberta Environment and Parks, and the Boreal
Grizzly bear range of the Chinchaga area. Grizzly bear watershed units are characterised as being either
Core or Secondary grizzly bear habitat. Core Areas are areas of high habitat value (Resource Selection
Function) and generally low mortality risk currently measured through Open Route Densities. Secondary
Areas are areas of good habitat, reflecting the broader range of grizzly bears. All Core and Secondary
areas within a grizzly bear population unit were merged producing Core and Secondary population units.
The Boreal Grizzly Bear Range in the Chinchaga region was calculated using a variety of information
sources, including location data from a variety of sources (FWMIS observation points, telemetry, and
mortality data) and local knowledge of staff familiar with this area.The area encompassed is Crown land
that contains the Clear Hills and Whitemud Hills, the Fontas Hills, the Naylor Hills and the Hawk Hills
and is drained by the Notikewin and Doig Rivers and their tributaries in the south, the Hotchkiss,
Meikle, Botha, Goffit and Keg Rivers and their tributaries in the central and northeastern portions, and
the Chinchaga and Fontas Rivers to the north and northwest. This area will be currently classed as an
unofficial Secondary area.
