Our national affiliate, Biodiversity Pathways, works collaboratively to develop and implement science-based monitoring programs, tools, and research beyond Alberta’s borders.
By collecting rigorous data on species, their habitats, and human footprint, we can support informed land-use planning and resource management. Biodiversity Pathways develops and implements monitoring programs to meet the needs of partners and stakeholder groups at local, regional, and national scales.
Biodiversity Pathways is delivered in partnership with the University of Alberta, the University of Northern British Columbia, and the University of British Columbia–Okanagan.
Mobilizing biodiversity data to inform better decision-making.
Wildlife Science Centre
The Wildlife Science Centre works collaboratively to deliver timely, rigorous science to decision makers.
The team conducts primary and applied research, facilitates knowledge gathering and synthesis, and develops management plans and study designs through working with Indigenous communities, industry, academics, and government. Their aim is to understand the drivers of change for wildlife populations; track changes in their habitats; and disentangle the complex relationships between species, disturbances, and climate.

SENSR
Services for Environmental Sensor Research (SENSR) delivers cutting-edge, custom environmental sensor services to the broader scientific community. They work with wildlife cameras and autonomous recording units (ARUs) for vocalizing species such as birds and bats.
SENSR can assist you at any stage of the project life cycle: program design; equipment rental; data management, quality control, storage, and processing; analysis and reporting; and more.

Human Footprint Monitoring in British Columbia
The British Columbia Footprint Monitoring Program is a partnership between Biodiversity Pathways and the University of Northern British Columbia. Its aim is to produce a human footprint dataset for the province of British Columbia to monitor landscape change.
Human footprint is defined as the extent of human land use in any given area, including developments such as roads, seismic lines, and surface mines. Creating human footprint maps will support cumulative effects monitoring and management of development in BC, including in old-growth forest and caribou habitat. Stay tuned for additional information as the program develops!
