Description
Alberta’s growing population and shifting recreation trends create a need for innovative and effective management of our provincial parks. These parks enhance and sustain our quality of life, protect biodiversity, and promote health and wellness through outdoor recreation. In order to best manage Alberta’s parks, we must have accurate information about them, the features they protect, the opportunities they provide, and the activities they support. A considerable amount of scientific work is conducted in parks. Establishing a Science Strategy is a priority action under Alberta’s Plan for Parks . It is intended to facilitate natural and social science research and inform decision-making. It affirms the valuable role that science plays in understanding and managing parks. The strategy is also intended to provide direction to improve our capacity to undertake and manage science, simplify our management and communication of scientific information, and provide tools to facilitate the incorporation of new knowledge into our management and planning practices. The effective integration of science will benefit the ecological, social, and economic health of parks.
