Maps from report depicting known important wildlife areas in the western NWT. Areas are based on discussions during 2006 and 2009 with with communities, co-management boards, departmental staff, and others as well as review of available reports. Using specific criteria, key wildlife habitat areas were identified for barren-ground caribou, mountain woodland caribou, Peary caribou, Dolphin-Union caribou, Dall's sheep, moose, mountain goat, muskox, wood bison, beaver, grizzly bear, polar bear, lynx, marten, muskrat, western toad, and peregrine falcon. Unique areas important for multiple species were also identified, including mineral licks, and hot and warm springs. Note: not range boundaries.

Land and water area values (in hectares) for terrestrial ecozones of Canada. Land and freshwater bounded by coastline are included. A subdivision of an ecoregion characterized by a distinctive assemblages of relief, landforms, geology, soil, vegetation, water bodies and fauna.

Land and water area values (in hectares) for terrestrial ecozones of Canada. Land and freshwater bounded by coastline are included. A subdivision of an ecoprovince characterized by distinctive regional ecological factors, including climate, physiography, vegetation, soil, water, and fauna.

Land and water area values (in hectares) for terrestrial ecozones of Canada. Land and freshwater bounded by coastline are included. A subdivision of an ecozone characterized by major assemblages of structural or surface forms, faunal realms, and vegetation, hydrology, soil, and macro climate.

Land and water area values (in hectares) for terrestrial ecozones of Canada. Land and freshwater bounded by coastline are included. At the top of the hierarchy, it defines the ecological mosaic of Canada on a sub-continental scale. They represent an area of the earth's surface representative of large and very generalized ecological units characterized by interactive and adjusting abiotic and biotic factors. Canada is divided into 15 terrestrial ecozones.

SLC version 3.2 is the latest revision of the Soil Landscapes of Canada, which was developed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to provide information about the country's agricultural soils at the provincial and national levels. The SLCs are based on existing soil survey maps which have been recompiled at 1:1 million scale. Each area (or polygon) on the map is described by a standard set of attributes. The full array of attributes that describe a distinct type of soil and its associated landscape, such as surface form, slope, water table depth, permafrost and lakes, is called a soil landscape. SLC polygons may contain one or more distinct soil landscape components and may also contain small but highly contrasting inclusion components. The location of these components within the polygon is not defined. SLCs were originally conceived as a standardized database consisting of major attributes important to plant growth, land management, and soil degradation. These data have since turned out to be a useful framework to support other databases, including Environment Canada's Ecological Land Classification System.
