The dataset contains approved legal boundaries for ungulate winter range and specified areas for ungulate species.

An Ungulate Winter Range (UWR) is defined as an area that contains habitat that is necessary to meet the winter habitat requirements of an ungulate species. UWRs are based on current understanding of ungulate habitat requirements in winter, as interpreted by FLNR regional staff from current scientific and management literature, local knowledge, and other expertise from the region. UWRs within this set of data are currently in the review and consultation stage of the area designation process. As UWRs are designated they will be moved into the [Approved Ungulate Winter Range](http://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/ungulate-winter-range) dataset.

A mapped draft area of habitat with associated species-specific management requirements with the intent to become approved under the authority of the Forest Practices Code and the Forest and Range Practices Act. A mapped area of habitat required for the winter survival of ungulate species. Associated with the mapped areas are species-specific management requirements. This dataset contains draft UWR for the Peace Region. These polygons have not yet reached stage 3 of the designation process; this means they have been accepted by regional biologists, have proposed measures associated, and are in review/comment stage.
