Description

Compliance with the Alberta zoo standards ensure that facilities requiring an Alberta zoo permit meet acceptable standards that provide a suitable environment for the animal collections and visitors and an environment that emphasizes education. Where off-site display occurs, the standards ensure that there is minimum risk to surrounding free-ranging wildlife, domestic animals and people, and in some cases provide an opportunity for scientific research and animal propagation to support wildlife conservation programs.

Description

The RSA is designed to determine the forest regeneration status of young managed stands relative to an assumed future condition. The standard provides detailed descriptions of the office and field procedures and imparts practical aids and tools to assist timber disposition holders in conducting forest regeneration assessments. The information obtained by using the RSA is intended to support a wide variety of activities including regulatory requirements, planning applications, forest regeneration monitoring and decision making.

Quantification protocol for agricultural nitrous oxide emission reductions. Draft version 1.1

Description

The scope of this protocol is limited to on-farm reductions of emissions from nitrogen sources and fuel use associated with the management of synthetic fertilizer, manure fertilizer and crop... More ≫

Description

The scope of this protocol is limited to on-farm reductions of emissions from nitrogen sources and fuel use associated with the management of synthetic fertilizer, manure fertilizer and crop residues. Greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions associated with carbon sequestration in the soil and off-site emission reductions affected by the manufacture and distribution of nitrogen fertilizers are excluded from the protocol. The exclusion of off-site reductions of fertilizer manufacturing increases conservativeness in emission reduction calculations and limits the scope of quantification to those sources, sinks and/or reservoirs for which data are readily available.

Quantification protocol for biofuel production and usage. Version 2.0

Description

Written for the biofuel production facility or project developer, this protocol quantifies the emission reductions from the avoidance of fossil fuel consumption when the fossil fuel is replaced by biofuels on an equivalent energy potential basis. The protocol also includes reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to any heat/power production and electricity generation related to the process, and from the avoidance of landfilling any materials which may be diverted for conversion to biofuel. The protocol is not intended to be prescriptive, but instead serve as a generic “recipe” for biofuel facility owners and operators to follow in order to meet measurement, monitoring and GHG quantification requirements.
