The Sharp-tailed Snake Potential (Suitable) Habitat layer is part of the recovery strategy for the sharp-tailed snake in BC. The primary focus of the Recovery Strategy for the Sharp Tailed Snake in BC is to ensure that further loss and fragmentation of the habitats are prevented. This layer plays a key role in helping achieve recovery of this species by informing the developers, land managers, biological consulting companies ( conducting environmental assessments), and land owners of the possibility that this species might occur on their lands. These landowners and land managers can then ensure that activities that take place on the property are compatible with the goal of protecting habitat for this species. Updates to this layer are anticipated every 3-5 years. The recovery strategy document (2008): http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/wld/documents/recovery/rcvrystrat/sharp-tailed_snake_rcvry_strat_1008.pdf |
