    Transboundary Regional Planning Collaboration for Climate Change Adaptation: A Case Study of Jasper National Park, Mount Robson Provincial Park, and Willmore Wilderness Park by Natasha Anna O‟Neill A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2011 ©Natasha Anna O‟Neill 2011 i AUTHOR'S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Climate change threatens the integrity of many parks and protected areas worldwide. Mountain parks are amongst the most vulnerable, facing changes in temperature, hydrology, glaciation, fire frequency, and pest and disease outbreaks. Species migration is a key tool in climate change adaptation, but often physical and jurisdictional fragmentation makes it impossible for species to migrate, putting species at risk of extirpation or extinction. Transboundary collaboration and regional planning are tools that can help physically connected parks and protected areas overcome jurisdictional fragmentation and allow for species migration, giving species a greater chance at being able to adapt to climate change. However, there are many barriers to transboundary collaboration and regional planning that makes this difficult to achieve. This research aims to address the challenges parks face with regards to transboundary collaboration and regional planning, and provide possible solutions for overcoming these challenges. A qualitative research project was conducted to determine the state of transboundary collaboration and regional planning in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, using Jasper National Park, Mount Robson Provincial Park, and Willmore Wilderness Park as the study area.

Exploring the Human Dimension: Visitor Use Analysis of Willmore Wilderness Park is a project being conducted by the University of Alberta with support from the Foothills Research Institute and Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation. We are interested in learning more about you and your trip into Willmore. As part of this project, we are conducting Willmore Wilderness Park user surveys, determining user numbers through trail cameras, mapping user patterns through GPS Tracksticks, and conducting interviews with selected individuals. This information is critical to learn as it will help ensure that your Willmore trip experience is being maintained and improved in ways which will greatly benefit you – the Willmore Wilderness Park visitor! The data will also be incorporated into my thesis, part of my Master’s degree requirements at the University of Alberta. We request that one member from your group complete this survey as you enter or exit the park. This includes ALL users regardless of where you are from or what activity you are doing. e.g., locals, non-locals, commercial trail operators, mountain bikers, hikers, outfitters etc.). Please fill out a survey each time you visit Willmore for both day use or overnight use. During this study, you may be offered a GPS Trackstick to use during your Willmore trip. The GPS Trackstick is a small GPS unit that would collect location data about your movement through the park. The unit would be attached for example, to your backpack or saddlebag while you are travelling.
