Species and Ecosystems at Risk - Publicly Available Occurrences - CDC

Species and Ecosystems at Risk - Publicly Available Occurrences - CDC The B.C. Conservation Data Centre’s spatial view of publicly available, known locations of species and ecological communities at risk. This spatial view is split into the "Publicly Available Occurrences" layer and "(Extirpated and Historical) Publicly Available Occurrences" layer. The Extirpated and Historical layer includes element occurrences that have a last observation date greater than 40 years ago and element occurrences that are extirpated due to general habitat loss or degradation of the environment in the area. Use the field ‘Rank Description’ to differentiate between Historical and Extirpated element occurrences in this layer. All element occurrences are polygons: the size of the polygon usually reflects the locational uncertainty associated with the source data, represented with varying sized circles. Some polygons may be larger to reflect the actual area covered by the element occurrence. The field "Representational Accuracy" is used to communicate how accurately the polygon reflects the actual area covered by the element. If you do not find an element occurrence in your area of interest, this means there are none currently mapped in the CDC database. The best way to verify whether an area contains a species or ecosystem at risk is to have do a detailed assessment of the property during the appropriate season. 2025-04-02 Government of British Columbia cdcdata@gov.bc.ca Nature and EnvironmentScience and TechnologyCDCCanadaat riskconservation data centreecologyecosystemelement occurrenceendangeredrarespeciesthreatenedGovernment information ArcGIS Online LayerESRI REST https://governmentofbc.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=5253c812c9584c89ba60944adb4e650b BC Geographic Warehouse Custom DownloadHTML https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/species-and-ecosystems-at-risk-publicly-available-occurrences-cdc/resource/cb1805ab-574e-4513-a747-474da0e435e4 Original metadata (https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca)HTML https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/species-and-ecosystems-at-risk-publicly-available-occurrences-cdc BIOT_OCCR_NON_SENS_AREA_SVWKML https://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/kml/geo/layers/WHSE_TERRESTRIAL_ECOLOGY.BIOT_OCCR_NON_SENS_AREA_SVW_loader.kml BIOT_OCCR_NON_SENS_AREA_SVWWMS https://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/geo/pub/WHSE_TERRESTRIAL_ECOLOGY.BIOT_OCCR_NON_SENS_AREA_SVW/ows?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&layers=pub:WHSE_TERRESTRIAL_ECOLOGY.BIOT_OCCR_NON_SENS_AREA_SVW&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/plain BIOT_OCCR_NON_SENS_AREA_SVWWMS https://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/geo/pub/WHSE_TERRESTRIAL_ECOLOGY.BIOT_OCCR_NON_SENS_AREA_SVW/ows?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&layers=pub:WHSE_TERRESTRIAL_ECOLOGY.BIOT_OCCR_NON_SENS_AREA_SVW&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/plain
