Delineates the administrative units used by the NB Department of Energy and Resource Development to manage populations and harvest of deer, moose, bear and furbearer species. Examples of furbearer species are beaver, muskrat, otter, mink, fox, and raccoon.

The Wildlife Refuge feature class provides the geographical boundaries (polygons) of New Brunswick's Wildlife Refuges and Wildlife Management Areas. Most of these entities were established in the mid 1900s for the management of wildlife species that were hunted, trapped or snared by providing areas where hunting, trapping or snaring could be prohibited or restricted. Some areas were included because they were recognized tourist destinations (Acadian Village and Kings Landing Wildlife Management Areas) or other areas designated for "protection". As of early 2008, hunting, trapping and snaring is not allowed in any Wildlife Refuge and some Wildlife Management Areas; while in some Wildlife Management Areas trapping and snaring are allowed but no hunting; and in other Wildlife Management Areas hunting, trapping and snaring are allowed; ie, no restrictions.

A bear management area is a polygon feature that identifies a ministry-regulated boundary used to manage, administer and enforce the licensed black bear hunting tourism program.

Delineates the administrative units used by the NB Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development (DNRED) to manage populations and harvest of deer, moose, bear and furbearer species. Examples of furbearer species are beaver, muskrat, otter, mink, fox, and raccoon. Wildlife Management Zones were first established by Fish & Wildlife Branch in the early 1990s by combining climate, topography, geology and soils layers to identify unique zones with differences in basic landscape features relevant to wildlife. These were adjusted to boundaries easily recognized by the public. Most boundaries follow roads, rivers, lakes, streams or railroads. Do not confuse Wildlife Management Zones with Wildlife Management Areas and Wildlife Refuges (in the Wildlife Refuge GIS layer).

Broad management guidance is applied across each Cervid Ecological Zone (CEZ) to help set local population and habitat objectives. CEZs reflect the overarching cervid management intent at the landscape level. The foundation for CEZs is Ontario’s Ecological Land Classification, with consideration given to: * cervid species ranges * landscape level variations in habitat and climate CEZs build on the existing Wildlife Management Unit network while recognizing that species and habitat ranges fluctuate over time.

The Fish and Wildlife Development Fund (FWDF) was developed to manage, preserve and enhance fish and wildlife habitat in Saskatchewan. The fund has three fish and wildlife management goals: Maintain natural habitat through conservation, biodiversity, land management and awareness of rare species; Maintain and grow sustainable fish populations and fish habitat; and Maintain game populations and ensure accessible hunting. Thirty per cent of the revenue from all hunting, angling and trapping licence sales is contributed to the fund. Additionally, monetary contributions to the fund can be made through your Hunting, Angling and Trapping Licence (HAL) system account. You can also help support the sustainable management and use of fish and wildlife resources by:Supporting programs that conserve wildlife and fisheries habitat;Joining or supporting your local conservation group or wildlife federation;Planting shelterbelts (using native fruit-bearing species), protecting wetlands, including their riparian areas;Maintaining large or small natural areas; andEnsuring your activities on the landscape do not contribute to the introduction or spread of invasive species. landscape do not contribute to the introduction or spread of invasive species.

Registered Trapping Concessions (RTCs) are legal boundaries that define an area where the holder of the concession has the exclusive right to trap furbearing animals. Because trapping is done primarily along waterways, RTCs are often defined by watersheds, using height of land (ridges and mountain peaks) as their boundaries. This is the opposite of GMAs which are defined by mountains. Sometimes RTCs are grouped together to form a Group Trapping Concession (in which groups of individual share the right to trap). This may or may not involve the elimination of the component RTC boundaries. The Yukon has 360 RTCs and 13 Group Trapping Concessions. Only Kluane National Park, Kluane Wildlife Sanctuary, and Ddhaw Ghro Habitat Protection are are not covered by RTCs.

A dashboard intended for the purpose of easily and efficiently displaying Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) sample data collected throughout the years. Displayed is species, season, and location specific information regarding sampling and sample submission. This dashboard displays the results of sampling for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in deer, elk, moose, and caribou. Sampling for CWD has been ongoing since 1997; however, Manitoba only confirmed the first positive case of CWD on November 1, 2021. Since 2021 there have been a total of 30 positive cases across Manitoba, illustrating the need for extensive sampling and tracking of cervids. CWD is a fatal disease of the central nervous system of deer, elk, moose and caribou, members of the cervid (deer) family. The disease is caused by one or more strains of self-propagating proteins, called prions. The prions, once transmitted, begin to spread, first in the immune system (lymph nodes and tonsils) and later, in the brain, spinal cord, and other organs. There is no cure for CWD. It is always fatal, with animals dying typically within two to three years and sometimes, as long as five years or more from the time of infection.  The dashboard shows all species and season data since the confirmation of the first CWD case in Manitoba in 2021, as well as the number of positive and negative samples submitted. Hunters can also view the comprehensive list of all drop-off depots that accept CWD sample submissions. This dashboard was created by the Manitoba Wildlife Branch.
