Large-scale research for big conservation issues
|
|
The ACME LAB - Applied Conservation Macro Ecology - researches big ecological questions to solve big conservation challenges.
To conserve biodiversity, we need to know how species use landscapes, and how species respond to rapid landscape and climate change. That's where our research in conservation macroecology comes in. We research spatial ecology on land and sea, and the spaces in between, using coordinated distributed experiments across western Canada and beyond. We research how the changes humans make to landscapes and climate affect wildlife species' ability to persist, thrive, and co-exist. We partner with governments, industry, NGOs, and many others to help fit research conclusions into decision-making processes, to help us all find more effective ways to conserve biodiversity. |

'Acme' is greek for "peak" - a nod to our extensive mountain research, and the pride we take in our research to inform better decisions for wildlife. |
Our ResearchFrom the northern wilds of Alberta to the urban wildlife in southern British Columbia, we're doing cutting edge research on wildlife and where they're found. Vertical Divider
