Additional operations included creating a public information sign concerning white pelicans near Fort Smith, and continued maintenance of Wood Bison at the Hay/Zama re-introduction site. Particular attention was given to surveillance patrols in areas used by threatened species, particularly peregrine falcons and caribou, to minimize illegal activities. ' To control negative impacts of ; human activity on sensitive species, a I Wildlife Control Zone was established ; in conjunction with intercept feeding sites along Highway 40 during the Winter Olympics in 1988. Similarly, activity of bighorn sheep on Mount : Allan was monitored and bait sites were used to draw the sheep away from \ areas developed for Olympic ski events. j Two other initiatives, the Wild ' West and Prairie for Tomorrow ; programs, were also actively promoted ; this year.
