The South Okanagan Lower Similkameen Habitat Atlas for Wildlife at Risk is an initiative of the Ministry of Environment Penticton Office. The atlas and the web site are designed to provide information on wildlife at risk and their habitats in the South Okanagan.
The atlas focuses on 32 species considered "at risk" in the South Okanagan and Lower Similkameen and designated by the provincial government as candidates for endangered, threatened or vulnerable status.
The North Okanagan Resource / Habitat Atlas (NORHA) is a web-based mapping tool that brings together a variety of information about natural and cultural attributes and resources of the North Okanagan region.
Its main purpose is to build capacity within the North Okanagan community through facilitating access to local resource inventory that can be used for local land use planning and stewardship efforts.
