This proof of concept assessment helps understand better market opportunities associated with biodiversity management in Alberta’s agricultural lands. Land management can increase biodiversity.
Bioengineering Techniques for Revegetation of Riparian Areas at the Colomac Mine, NWT
Resource
Factors such as nutrient poor soils, harsh climate, remote locations, and high costs make revegetating disturbed areas in northern environments a challenge. We present a case study where novel...
Blog: A New Approach to Habitat Recovery Could Help Threatened Woodland Caribou
Resource
From a caribou’s perspective, seismic lines might be considered effectively ‘restored’—that is, the additional risk associated with them might be considered negligible—once vegetation reaches 50 cm
Blog: A New Wetland Inventory for Alberta

Blog: Caribou Habitat Loss Continues in Alberta and BC
Resource
Habitat loss occurred in nearly 70% of caribou ranges in AB and BC, and on average they lost more than twice as much habitat as they gained over the period for which data were available
Blog: Exploring the Effects of Landscape and Climate Change on White-tailed Deer - and What They Might Mean for Caribou
Resource
These results suggest that restoring caribou habitat to nearly unaltered conditions may help to slow white-tail expansion, reduce predator densities, and, by extension, ,lower predation on caribou.
Blog: How do you Help Save Endangered Caribou? Stop the Invading Moose!
