    Role of the Protected Area Provincial and Regional Context

    Role of the Protected Area Provincial and Regional Context Height of the Rockies and Elk Lakes provincial parks lie in southeastern British Columbia in the Rocky Mountains, about 85 km southwest of Calgary, Alberta. They are flanked to the East by the Elk Valley and the Kananaskis Valley and to the West by the Park Ranges. The mountain ranges of the Kootenay District provide a wide diversity of natural values and recreation opportunities as evidenced by the numerous national and provincial parks in the District (Fig. 2). Over 16% of the land base in the East Kootenays is in protected areas. · Height of the Rockies and Elk Lakes provincial parks are a significant part of BC's system of protected areas. In conjunction with Banff National Park and Peter Lougheed Provincial Park in Alberta, they form a large, contiguous protected area that is rich in natural, recreational and cultural values. Also, these parks are critical links in the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y)1. · The combined size of these two provincial parks contributes to the protection of biodiversity in the region and is integral to the conservation of wildlife populations, plant communities and biodiversity. · These parks offer a wide range of top caliber wilderness recreation opportunities and outstanding features. Plate 2 : Fish fossil in Elk Lakes Provincial Park 1 Proposal by Canada and U.S. conservation groups to create a thread of ecological connectivity linking protected areas in both countries from Yellowstone National Park to the Yukon. 11 Significance in the Protected Areas System Height of the Rockies and Elk Lakes provincial parks are a significant part of BC's system of protected areas.

    FREE THE GREAT DIVIDE PDF Dodds | 32 pages | 03 Feb 2005 | Candlewick Press,U.S. | 9780763615925 | English | Massachusetts, United States The Great Divide The Continental Divide extends from the Bering The Great Divide to the Strait of Magellanand separates the watersheds that drain into the Pacific Ocean The Great Divide those river systems that drain into the Atlantic Ocean including those that drain into the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea and, along the northernmost reaches of the Divide, those river systems that drain into the Arctic The Great Divide and Hudson Bay. Although there are many other hydrological divides in the Americas, the Continental Divide is by far the most prominent of these because it tends to follow a line of high peaks along the main ranges of the Rocky Mountains and Andesat a generally much higher elevation than the other hydrological divisions. From there the Divide traverses the McGregor Plateau to the spine of the Rockies, following the crest of the Canadian Rockies southeast to the th meridian westfrom The Great Divide forming the boundary between southern British Columbia and southern Alberta. Further south, the Divide forms the backbone of the Rocky Mountain Front Front Range in the Bob Marshall Wildernessheads south towards Helena and Buttethen west past the namesake community of Divide, Montanathrough the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness to the Bitterroot Rangewhere it forms the eastern third of the state The Great Divide between Idaho and Montana. The Divide then proceeds south into western New Mexicopassing along the western boundary of the endorheic Plains of San Agustin.
