This interactive map provides information about the locations and habitat values of conservation lands, with a focus on Wildlife Management Areas and other administered conservation land sites or complexes. To obtain further information about specific sites, see the conservation lands regional contact list below. 

The Government of British Columbia Data Catalogue also provides open access to a downloadable data-set of conservation lands in various formats, along with a cross-reference to the overlapping NGO Conservation Areas data-set. These can be uploaded into common mapping software tools.
