Wildlife Conservation Society Canada conservation reports series Wildlife Conservation Society Canada (WCS Canada) was incorporated as a conservation organization in Canada in July 2004. Its mission is to save wildlife and wildlands by improving our understanding of — and seeking solutions to — criti- cal problems that threaten vulnerable species and large wild ecosystems throughout Canada. WCS Canada implements and supports comprehensive field studies to gather information on the ecology and behavior of wildlife. Then, it applies that information to resolve key conservation problems by working with a broad array of stakeholders, including local community members, conservation groups, regula- tory agencies, and commercial interests. It also provides technical assistance and biological expertise to local groups and agencies that lack the resources to tackle conservation dilemmas. Already, WCS Canada has worked on design of protected areas (Nahanni National Park), monitoring and recovery of species (grizzly bear, lynx, wolverine, and woodland caribou), restoration of ecosystems, integrated man- agement of large landscapes, and community-based conservation. Although WCS Canada is independently registered and managed, it retains a strong collaborative working relationship with sister WCS programs in more than 55 countries around the world. The Wildlife Conservation Society is a recognized global leader in conservation, dedicated to saving wildlife and wildlands for spe- cies in peril, such as elephants, tigers, sharks, macaws and bears. For more than a century, WCS has worked in North America promoting conservation actions such as recovery of bison, establishment of parks, and legislation to protect endangered wildlife. Today, WCS Canada draws upon this legacy of experience and expertise to inform its strategic programs from Yukon to Labrador. To learn more about WCS Canada, visit: www.wcscanada.org.

From that humble beginning was born Banff National Park, Canada's first national park and the world's third. Spanning 6,641 square kilometres (2,564 square miles) of valleys, mountains, glaciers, forests, meadows and rivers, Banff National Park is one of the world's premier destination spots. In Banff’s early years, The Canadian Pacific Railway built the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise, and attracted tourists through extensive advertising. In the early 20th century, roads were built in Banff, at times by war internees, and through Great Depression-era public works projects. Since the 1960s, park accommodations have been open all year, with annual tourism visits to Banff increasing to over 5 million in the 1990s. Millions more pass through the park on the Trans-Canada Highway. As Banff is one of the world's most visited national parks, the health of its ecosystem has been threatened.

  • February Newsletter
    Winter continues to cover Kananaskis in a blanket of snow. Have you been out enjoying it? If You Admire the View, You Are a Friend Of Kananaskis For the rest of 2013, the Friends Newsletter will feature wildlife camera photographs from Kananaskis Country. The photos were provided by John Paczkowski, the Park Ecologist for Kananaskis Country. Many of the photographs are part of research programs in the various areas of Kananaskis. The one above is a cougar attempting to steal a beaver carcass hung in a tree. These carcasses are used to attract and photograph wolverines, and the barbed wire you see allows collection of hair samples for DNA identity testing. If you have not met John, you should. He has spoken at several Friends events, and has one of the best jobs in the world, tracking wildlife movements in and around K-Country. Beside which, John's a great guy and we thank him for his generosity in supplying these photos. Trail Care 2013 Update By Rosemary Power, Program CoOrdinator With the spring just around the corner, we are looking ahead to our 2013 Trail Care season with TransAlta as the title sponsor for this years program. Thanks to you, our hard working volunteers, we will be providing trail maintenance and construction in a wide variety of locations in and around Kananaskis Country. As in previous years, our main trail work days will be the second Saturday of each month but additional days, both weekday and weekend, will likely be created. Work usually ranges from pruning back bushes growing alongside the trail, through to digging drainage channels, sawing logs (by hand) and splitting rock or moving boulders.

  • District of Elkford: Climate Change Adaptation Strategy
    District of Elkford: Climate Change Adaptation Strategy Report for : District of Elkford, B.C., Canada Developed by: Karen Gorecki BSc, MPP Megan Walsh, BSc Env, MSc Env Mgmt. (2010) and Jeff Zukiwsky BTM, MRM Planning (2009) Executive Summary For several years, the Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) has been spearheading research on climate impacts in the Columbia Basin, supported by a team of scientists and planners, and in partnership with the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium (PCIC). The CBT observed that the impacts of climate change, and the vulnerability of communities to change, varied throughout the Basin. In 2008, the CBT recognized the need to support communities in identifying localized climate change projections and vulnerabilities, and in creating adaptation plans that would allow those communities to prepare for a much different future. The District of Elkford was one of two communities chosen to participate in Columbia Basin Trust’s Communities Adapting to Climate Change (CACC) initiative. For the District of Elkford, this initiative was integrated into an Official Community Plan (OCP) revision, which was to be completed ‘through a climate change lens.’ With support from PCIC, the Communities Adapting to Climate Change team (comprised of Karen Gorecki, Megan Walsh and Jeff Zukiwsky) developed a process that emphasized community and staff engagement, and the pairing of local knowledge with scientific data and projections to determine areas of priority for further climate impact research. Initial open houses revealed strong community concern for issues such as wildfire, road maintenance, stormwater management and water quality. The CACC research team used the public input and best available science to focus in on three priority areas: Wildfire, Flooding and Water Supply.
