With the integration of digital mapping, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), remote sensing, geographic analysis and location-based applications, GIS has become a valuable conservation tool. Products available include:

  • Wetland inventory mapping
  • Enhanced Wetland Classification (EWC) map products
  • Carbon storage values
  • Caribou habitat preference
  • Biodiversity tool
  • Waterfowl modelling
  • Spatial targeting

Wetland Best Management Practices (BMPs)

DUC’s best management practices program was developed in response to industry’s growing interest in conserving wetlands and the ecosystem services they provide. It is an important component of DUC’s sustainable land use approach. It supports boreal conservation efforts by promoting practices that reduce potential impacts of industrial activity on wetlands, waterfowl and waterfowl habitat.

Wetland Policy Consultation

Canada has a tremendous opportunity to be proactive in conserving boreal forest wetlands. While largely intact, the boreal is increasingly impacted by climate change and the pressures of development. By creating policies to conserve boreal wetlands now, Canada has an opportunity to be a global leader in wetland conservation.
