A Tale of Two Roads: Consequences of Peat Conditions and Construction Practices on Peatland Effects, Reclaimability, and Best Practice Development
Resource
This talk explores what needs to inform road construction decisions, including evaluating where roads should be built and what practices should be used based on peat conditions.
Biodiversity Offsets and Caribou Conservation in Alberta: Opportunities and Challenges
Resource
We conclude that a number of actions to offset impacts of development and achieve no net loss or net positive impact for caribou are theoretically feasible (i.e., if implemented they should work), including habitat restoration and manipulations of the large mammal predator-prey system. However, implementation challenges are substantial and include a lack of mechanisms for setting aside some resources for long periods of time, public opposition to predator control, and uncertainty associated with loss-gain calculations.
