Caribou Ecology and Recovery Webinar Series
Woodland Caribou

We are excited to announce the kick-off of the Caribou Ecology and Recovery Webinar Series. 

Join us to explore the latest research supporting caribou ecology and recovery in Canada—from the mechanisms of caribou declines to potential recovery options. The series will include a webinar approximately every second Tuesday. We begin with a Western Canadian focus, but we will expand to a more national and international scope.

Please find additional details in the Information Poster, including the current webinar schedule. The first webinar will be Tuesday, May 12 at 2:00PM Mountain Time: "Demographic responses of threatened woodland caribou to annual variation in meteorological and phenological conditions" by Dr. Craig DeMars. If you would like a link to register for this webinar please email caribou.webinars@gmail.com to be added to the distribution list.

 The series will be co-hosted by the Caribou Monitoring Unit along with the National Boreal Caribou Knowledge Consortium, and sponsored by the Regional Industry Caribou Collaboration.

Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute Biodiversity Browser User Survey

Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI)
Birch Mountain Wetland Alberta

In 2017, the ABMI publicly released the Biodiversity Browser (BB) on its website, as a kind of "encyclopedia of life" for Alberta species. The intent of the BB has been to broadly share ABMI data and information on Alberta species to support decision-making by land-use managers and policymakers in the province. Over the last year, the BB has expanded significantly: adding new species profiles on amphibians as well as new analysis on "sector effects". If you haven't visited the BB before, check out your favourite species here. 

So, the time has come to consider how the ABMI can improve the usability of the BB and incorporate new content that users are looking for. In collaboration with Ducks Unlimited Canada, and with your input, the ABMI plans to improve the BB's wetland species content. Please consider taking about six minutes of your time to provide feedback on the current BB.

Thank you for your time and feedback!
