The three-year Whitefish Lake wildlife monitoring project is a partnership between the Whitefish (Atikameg) First Nation, InnoTech Alberta and the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute and will train community members to set up a network of wildlife cameras across the Whitefish Lake First Nation to monitor deer, elk, moose, bear, wolf and other medium-sized predators. Traditional Knowledge will be important for selecting the locations in which the cameras should be deployed.
