ABMI has published a new online report on biodiversity, human footprint, and changing land cover in the Oil Sands Region.
The Oil Sands Region covers 140,200 km² or one-fifth of Alberta. This new online report summarizes three types of indicators:
- Natural landscape indicators track the condition of native vegetation, interior habitat, and landscape connectivity.
- Land base change indicators assess key disturbances from human footprint, wildfire, and linear density.
- Biodiversity indicators assess biodiversity intactness, habitat suitability for hundreds of species, and local mammal responses to oil sands-related features.
