Alarm response is defined as an immediate movement by animals in reaction to an external stimulus, usually to safer locations.

Harass includes worry, exhaust, fatigue, annoy, plague, pester, tease or torment, but does not include the lawful hunting, trapping or capturing of wildlife (from the B.C. Wildlife Act).

Sensitive sites include habitats of rare and endangered wildlife species, nesting and other breeding sites, rare plant communities and ecosystems that are easily damaged and/or slow to recover from disturbances, including alpine meadows, grasslands and moist-soil ecosystems such as riparian areas and wetlands.

Ungulates are hoofed animals. Wildlife species include deer, elk, moose, caribou, sheep and goats.

Management Plan refers to a CR management plan. It includes draft management plans and final management plans and means a combination of text and maps that are components of a legal agreement between ILMB (for land tenure; MOE for water tenures) and the tenure holder. It consists of descriptions of the specific nature of the CR operation, including the boundaries within which the operation may occur, and the conditions, provisions, restrictions and guidelines for use of Crown land for such an operation.

Tenure document - the formal approval to occupy and use Crown land for a specified purpose. http://www.tsa.gov.bc.ca/resorts_rec/tenure/commercialrecreation/index.htm
