We’re delighted to share the latest annual report for Biodiversity Pathways. Highlights from the past year are organized by program area: mammal research and monitoring led by the Wildlife Science Centre; the advancement of environmental sensor research through SENSR; and human footprint mapping in British Columbia, spearheaded by our Geospatial Centre. Two boundary-spanning projects are also highlighted: our work in Mongolia supporting rangeland stewardship and climate resilience, and the Wildland Foundations project in BC, Alberta, and the Northwest Territories.
Highlights from the Wildlife Science Centre include:
- Supporting the Joint Nation Grizzly Bear Initiative in assessing grizzly bear habitat quality and connectivity
- Building tools to predict how changes in human footprint — be it development or recovery — affect caribou habitat
- Improving human-grizzly coexistence in the Elk Valley through cost-share programs
- Collecting long-term monitoring data in the Columbia Valley to inform southern mountain caribou reintroduction
Our work would not be possible without the support of our partner institutions, funders, Board of Directors, and collaborators. We’re excited for what we’ll accomplish together next year!
