Ecosystem mapping is a vital tool in conservation and land management that involves creating visual representations of natural environments. These maps highlight the distribution, health, and interconnectedness of various ecosystems. We can use them to identify sensitive habitats, track biodiversity, and assess the impacts of human activity and climate.
The Canadian Conservation and Land Management Knowledge Portal hosted an insightful webinar on Ecosystem Mapping. This session featured three expert presenters Sarah Banks (ECCC), Rebecca Edwards (DUC) and Dave Blaine (NAIT) who shared innovative approaches, key tools, and real-world applications.
