The Cumulative Environmental Management Association (CEMA) was a leading multi-stakeholder group operating in the heart of Canada’s boreal forest - the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, Alberta.

CEMA was a key advisor to the provincial and federal governments committed to respectful, inclusive dialogue to make recommendations to manage the cumulative environmental effects of regional development on air, land, water and biodiversity.  Based in Fort McMurray and operating for more than twelve years, this nonprofit association employed a professional secretariat to coordinate its world class research through Land, Air, Water and Reclamation working groups.

Some of the CEMA reports are now available through the Thomas A. Edge Archives & Special Collections at Athabasca University.  More are being added as time permits.

5 Breakthroughs in Indigenous-led Conservation & Stewardship in 2023

Indigenous-led Conservation

December 20, 2023

The Indigenous leadership that generated international attention at last December’s COP15 Biodiversity Summit in Montreal continued to shine through 2023. The year brought challenges, including record-breaking wildfires that devastated communities across the country and sent smoke billowing for thousands of kilometres.

Canadians welcomed these contributions: 75% of Canadians support the Guardians programs, for instance, according to a recent poll.

The Breathing Lands highlights the peatlands of northern Ontario, emphasizing their vital roles in carbon storage and biodiversity while also acknowledging the threats posed to them by climate change and resource extraction. The episode showcases the work of several experts including Dr. Mike Waddington and Dr. Brian Branfireun who are researching the impact climate change will have on peatland fire behavior and peat carbon stocks. It also displays the work of Dr. Sarah Finkelstein, John Turner, and The Moose Cree First Nation who are working to map the carbon stocks and develop an Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area in the North French River watershed.  

Paving Over Paradise | Water Brothers | Full Episode | TVO Original

Paving over Paradise shifts the focus to Ontario's south and explores challenges around habitat loss due to increasing human development and invasive species. McMaster University researchers identify crucial Blanding turtle habitat, while Dr. Rebecca Rooney and Dr. Janice Gilbert combat phragmites, a highly invasive wetland plant. Organizations like ALUS and Ducks Unlimited Canada work to restore lost wetlands by compensating landowners for ecosystem services.
