This report is part of the Alberta Wildlife Status Report series, which provides comprehensive summaries of selected wildlife species intended to be useful to those managing populations of species and their habitats, and to help identify species that may be formally designated as endangered or threatened.2015-05-13T14:59:47.440503+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/05cdc28e-5fbf-4906-9adf-eefbb26a2d1eStatus of the woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Alberta : update 20102023-11-21T17:36:53.524756+00:00Sustainable Resource Development (2001-2006, 2006-2013)This wildlife status report looks at the woodland caribou. The woodland subspecies of the caribou is distributed across the forested and mountainous regions of Canada, including northern and west-central Alberta. The woodland caribou is included on the list of species that may be at risk in Alberta. This report summarizes past and ongoing research on woodland caribou ecology in Alberta as a step in updating its status designation. The report is part of the Alberta Wildlife Status Report series, which provides comprehensive summaries of selected wildlife species intended to be useful to those managing populations of species and their habitats, and to help identify species that may be formally designated as endangered or threatened.2015-05-13T15:00:00.866637+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/4f36482b-d326-4ba0-a623-37211aa4492eSurvey of colonial nesting birds and lakeshore habitats in northeast Alberta2023-11-21T20:46:08.683539+00:00The potential impacts on colonial nesting species and other waterbirds need to be addressed in light of increased industrial development, agricultural activity and modern recreational opportunities within the northeast region of Alberta. Long-term monitoring and the assessment of species occurrence, productivity, and behaviour on a sample of lakes are key to determining the effects of habitat loss and alteration. In 2003, we monitored a large sample of lakes using a combination of aerial and boat survey techniques. We continued observations of previously surveyed lakes to delineate population trends, and began detailed analyses of lakeshore habitat. Nest counts, especially of Western and Eared Grebes, supplemented our knowledge of populations potentially at risk of decline due to human activities. We discovered that while some species were increasing in occurrence throughout the region, such as Double-crested Cormorants, others such as Western Grebes were less productive and occurred at lower numbers than historic levels. Overall, the species richness of waterbirds in the region was high, and indicated several lakes deserving of management attention including special signage and lakeshore protection. Continued monitoring of colonial species, other waterbirds, and their habitat is recommended.2015-08-05T20:59:13.114413+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/d8cc1bbd-7a69-4b04-89b1-9ced448ab43bFireSmart homeowner's manual : FireSmart begins at home2023-11-22T20:35:28.407484+00:00Wildfires are a natural part of Alberta's wildland ecosystems. Without wildfire, the landscape loses its diversity. Wildfires recycle nutrients, help plants reproduce and create a mosaic of vegetation that provides habitat for a variety of wildlife. By choosing to extend our lifestyles and communities further into forested areas, we become more exposed to the danger of wildfire. Living where wildfires can occur puts your home at risk, but it is possible to live safely with this natural event. The recommendations in this manual will reduce the risk of wildfire to your home and neighbourhood and help firefighters to defend your home.2015-10-22T15:10:12.311787+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/4f64f8c0-4c36-4baf-bf6c-af44a1080461Sustainable Resource Development business plan [2001 - 2012]2023-11-27T18:05:22.134926+00:00Sustainable Resource Development (2001-2006, 2006-2013)As part of the Government of Alberta’s commitment to be open and accountable to the public, all ministries are required to prepare and make public three-year ministry business plans.
