In 2001, preliminary Predictive Ecosystem Mapping (PEM) and PEM-based species-habitat models for grizzly bear, mountain caribou and least chipmunk were completed for the Purcell Wilderness Conservancy Provincial Park study area. Follow-up field sampling in summer of 2002 was conducted to verify the preliminary PEM classification (site series/ecosystem units) and wildlife habitat ratings.

The Purcell Wilderness Conservancy Park was established as a Class A Park in 1995. It is located within the Central Columbia Mountains and Eastern Purcell Mountains ecosections. The purpose of the project was:
1. to develop preliminary PEM for the Purcell Wilderness Conservancy Park; and,
2. to develop preliminary PEM-based wildlife habitat ratings for Grizzly bear (Ursus arctos), caribou (Rangifer tarandus) and least chipmunk (Tamias minimus selkirki). The objectives of the second phase of the project were:
1. to field check the preliminary PEM classifications;
2. to assess field-based habitat ratings for grizzly bear and mountain caribou; and,
3. to revise preliminary PEM and preliminary grizzly bear and mountain caribou species-habitat models based on field sampling results.
