From1999 to 2015, human activity in Alberta visibly converted over 23,000 km2 of native ecosystems into residential, recreational, or industrial landscapes

As of 2015, 29.2% of Alberta is under human footprint, up from 25.7% in 1999—that’s an average increase of about 0.22%, or around 1450 km2 (560 sections) per year.

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.

With the support of Alberta Environment and Parks, the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute has become the trusted source for data about habitat, species, and the human footprint.

Long-term monitoring of some sites would ultimately be needed to show that recovering wellsites are on a trajectory that consistently leads to full recovery.

Rank species occupancy curves revealed high species dominance regardless of disturbance: within any disturbance class a few species occupied nearly every site and most species were found in a low...

As of 2012, the total human footprint across the OSR was 13.8%. Energy footprint covered 2.2% of the OSR. The total human footprint in the OSR increased from 11.3% to 13.8% between 1999 and 2012.

As of 2010, human footprint in the Active In-situ Region was 7.7%, whereas it was 20.8% in the Mineable Region. Total human footprint in all Woodland Caribou ranges increased between 2007 and 2010

The results showed a pronounced variation in the historic supply of soil organic carbon and aboveground biomass in the watershed. Land management resulted in a diverse range of gains or losses.
