Birds adapted to alpine ecosystems are often sensitive to habitat and climate changes because of their niche specialization. For example, birds that are specialized to breeding in colder alpine conditions may be outcompeted by more generalist species if warmer conditions arise. Yearly data are...

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Canadian species index represents the average percent change in the sizes of Canadian vertebrate species' populations...

In 2022, scientists from Parks Canada, Audubon, the Canadian Wildlife Service and Birds Canada published an analysis of projected changes in bird assemblages due to climate change within the Canadian National Park System (Gahbauer et al. 2022, Projected changes in birds assemblages due to climate...

Contained within the Atlas of Canada Poster Map Series, is a German translation of a poster map, MCR 1402, entitled ""The Boreal Forest"". The original map was published in 1996, whereas the German version dates from 1997. The front side of both maps is dominated by a large map of Canada showing...

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows 20 condensed maps with the more popular game birds in Canada. The ranges, for the most part, indicate present and usual distribution. Rare or occasional occurrences have not been shown. As there is still much to be...

Contained within the Atlas of Canada Poster Map Series, is a poster which shows the location of boreal forest in Canada. The two sided poster graphically depicts the importance of the boreal forest as a dynamic system of shrubs, trees, herbs, mosses, micro-organisms, insects and animals...

Local-scale projects focus on gaps in our understanding of complex response patterns at regional scales by targeting specific habitats or development features of interest. Environment and Climate Change Canada is monitoring how and why boreal birds respond to oil sands development features using...

Regional-scale monitoring focuses on understanding how and why boreal songbirds, including several Species at Risk, are affected by human activity across the Peace, Athabasca and Cold Lake oil sands area. Data are collected across multiple habitat types and across a range of disturbance...
