{ "currentVersion": 10.91, "id": 184, "name": "Wek\u2019èezhı̀ı Interim Boreal Caribou Range Plan", "type": "Feature Layer", "description": "Boreal caribou were listed as threatened under the federal Species at Risk Act (SARA) in 2003 and in the Northwest Territories (NWT) under the Species at Risk (NWT) Act in 2014. Under the federal and NWT recovery strategies for boreal caribou, GNWT committed to developing regional range plans for boreal caribou to manage habitat disturbance from human development activity and natural factors like wildfires. To initiate the process, an NWT Framework for Boreal Caribou Range Planning (the Framework) was created in August 2019. The Framework provides a coordinated and consistent approach for five regional range plans to be produced in the NWT. The Interim Wek\u2019èezhı̀ı Boreal Caribou Range Plan (Interim Range Plan) is one of these five regional plans. The Interim Range Plan was prepared by the Wek\u2019èezhı̀ı boreal caribou range plan working group, which is made up of representatives from Indigenous governments (Tłı̨chǫ Government, Yellowknives Dene First Nation, North Slave Métis Alliance), the Wek\u2019èezhı̀ı Renewable Resources Board, Federal Government agencies(Environment and Climate Change Canada) and GNWT departments. An interim boreal caribou range plan was needed to meet the timeline required by Measure 6\u20101, Part 1 of the Mackenzie Valley Environmental Impact Review Board\u2019s Report of Environmental Assessment and Reasons for Decision for the Tłı̨chǫ All\u2010Season Road (TASR) project. This measure required that the Wek\u2019èezhı̀ı boreal caribou range plan be completed and submitted to Wek\u2019èezhı̀ı Renewable Resources Board 90 days before the opening of the TASR. The TASR opened in late November 2021.Together, Indigenous Knowledge and western scientific information were used to develop maps of important areas for boreal caribou. These maps were then used to develop different scenarios for management class areas. Some of these scenarios considered economic development potential and existing land protections to help define potential management class areas.The working group agreed to a final division of management classes as follows: 55% of habitat was assigned as Basic management class, 30% was assigned as Enhanced management class, and 15% was assigned as Intensive management class in the Wek\u2019èezhı̀ı range planning region. This layer represents the boundaries of the final management classes. Section 8.1 (pages 100-122) describe the management actions that must be followed by Developers and Regulators within Enhanced and Intensive management class areas. Management actions with Basic management areas are recommended best practice.", "geometryType": "esriGeometryPolygon", "sourceSpatialReference": { "wkid": 102002, "latestWkid": 102002 }, "copyrightText": "Interim Wek\u2019èezhı̀ı Range Plan Final version:\nhttps://www.enr.gov.nt.ca/en/interim-wekeezhii-boreal-caribou-range-plan-plan-provisoire-pour-laire-de-repartition-du-caribou\n\nGNWT, 2022.", "parentLayer": { "id": 95, "name": "Range Boundaries and Regional Range Planning Areas" }, "subLayers": [], "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 0, "drawingInfo": { "renderer": { "type": "uniqueValue", "field1": "Management_Class", "field2": null, "field3": null, "defaultSymbol": null, "defaultLabel": null, "uniqueValueInfos": [ { "symbol": { "type": "esriSFS", "style": "esriSFSSolid", "color": [ 56, 168, 0, 255 ], "outline": { "type": "esriSLS", "style": "esriSLSSolid", "color": [ 110, 110, 110, 255 ], "width": 0.4 } }, "value": "Basic", "label": "Basic", "description": "" }, { "symbol": { "type": "esriSFS", "style": "esriSFSSolid", "color": [ 255, 255, 0, 255 ], "outline": { "type": "esriSLS", "style": "esriSLSSolid", "color": [ 110, 110, 110, 255 ], "width": 0.4 } }, "value": "Enhanced", "label": "Enhanced", "description": "" }, { "symbol": { "type": "esriSFS", "style": "esriSFSSolid", "color": [ 230, 0, 0, 255 ], "outline": { "type": "esriSLS", "style": "esriSLSSolid", "color": [ 110, 110, 110, 255 ], "width": 0.4 } }, "value": "Intensive", "label": "Intensive", "description": "" } ], "fieldDelimiter": "," }, "transparency": 40, "labelingInfo": null }, "defaultVisibility": false, "extent": { "xmin": -1187462.1215000004, "ymin": 2576498.8165000007, "xmax": -950893.2833999991, "ymax": 3012095.8702999987, "spatialReference": { "wkid": 102002, "latestWkid": 102002 } }, "hasAttachments": false, "htmlPopupType": "esriServerHTMLPopupTypeAsHTMLText", "displayField": "Management_Class", "typeIdField": null, "subtypeFieldName": null, "subtypeField": null, "defaultSubtypeCode": null, "fields": [ { "name": "OBJECTID", "type": "esriFieldTypeOID", "alias": "OBJECTID", "domain": null }, { "name": "Management_Class", "type": "esriFieldTypeString", "alias": "Management_Class", "length": 50, "domain": null }, { "name": "Percent_Region", "type": "esriFieldTypeDouble", "alias": "Percent_Region", "domain": null }, { "name": "WEKE_MC_ZONE_ID", "type": "esriFieldTypeString", "alias": "WEKE_MC_ZONE_ID", "length": 50, "domain": null }, { "name": "Area_Km2", "type": "esriFieldTypeDouble", "alias": "Area_Km2", "domain": null }, { "name": "Shape", "type": "esriFieldTypeGeometry", "alias": "Shape", "domain": null }, { "name": "Shape.STArea()", "type": "esriFieldTypeDouble", "alias": "Shape.STArea()", "domain": null }, { "name": "Shape.STLength()", "type": "esriFieldTypeDouble", "alias": "Shape.STLength()", "domain": null } ], "geometryField": { "name": "Shape", "type": "esriFieldTypeGeometry", "alias": "Shape" }, "indexes": [ { "name": "R1974_pk", "fields": "OBJECTID", "isAscending": true, "isUnique": true, "description": "" }, { "name": "S1766_idx", "fields": "Shape", "isAscending": true, "isUnique": true, "description": "" } ], "subtypes": [], "relationships": [], "canModifyLayer": true, "canScaleSymbols": false, "hasLabels": false, "capabilities": "Map,Query,Data", "maxRecordCount": 1000, "supportsStatistics": true, "supportsAdvancedQueries": true, "supportedQueryFormats": "JSON, geoJSON", "isDataVersioned": false, "ownershipBasedAccessControlForFeatures": {"allowOthersToQuery": true}, "useStandardizedQueries": true, "advancedQueryCapabilities": { "useStandardizedQueries": true, "supportsStatistics": true, "supportsHavingClause": true, "supportsCountDistinct": true, "supportsOrderBy": true, "supportsDistinct": true, "supportsPagination": true, "supportsTrueCurve": true, "supportsReturningQueryExtent": true, "supportsQueryWithDistance": true, "supportsSqlExpression": true }, "supportsDatumTransformation": true, "hasGeometryProperties": true, "geometryProperties": { "shapeAreaFieldName": "Shape.STArea()", "shapeLengthFieldName": "Shape.STLength()", "units": "esriMeters" }, "dateFieldsTimeReference": null, "supportsCoordinatesQuantization": true }
