Mapped Known Locations of Species and Ecological Communities at Risk
The BC Conservation Data Centre (CDC) maps known locations of Red- and Blue-listed species and ecological communities. Detailed records are compiled for each 'Occurrence'.
The CDC database is dynamic and is based on best-known information. The addition and upkeep of records is an ongoing process with edits taking place on a daily basis. The absence of Occurrences in your area of interest does not necessarily mean that there are no species or ecosystems at risk present; only that there are none currently recorded in our database. A detailed assessment of the property conducted during the appropriate season is the only way to confirm presence or absence of species or ecosystems at risk.
Use the Conservation Data Centre Mapping Service to view mapped Occurrences and print Occurrence records.

NOTE: As of June 2008 the CDC Mapping Service has changed platforms. The CDC Mapping service has moved from the CDC IMF to iMap. You may notice some changes in the application; however, the new mapping service has the same functionality as the previous service. See the instructions below or contact cdcdata@gov.bc.ca (250-356-0928) for any problems using the application.
Refer to the Instructions (PDF 29 KB) for help accessing the mapped Occurrence records.
