Biodiversity assessment and monitoring research - 2016: Summary report - 2016

These projects mostly use bird species diversity and population performance as indicators of ecosystem health. In part using student energies, data bases are maintained tracking key demographic parameters of important focal species. Some of these now have well over 40 years of data. 2016 was the 19th year that this initiative has been based at Yukon College; in part the vision has been to contribute toward Yukon’s commitment under the Canadian Biodiversity Strategy (1993), and to foster partnership between the Yukon Research Center at Yukon College and the various management authorities for wildlife in the Yukon.
