Central to biodiversity conservation is the understanding of how species coexist and respond to environmental change in landscapes. This project proposes research aiming to understand the mechanisms of biodiversity maintenance, model and predict the impact of the change in land use and climate, and develop methods and tools for assessing extinction risk of threatened species and vulnerable ecosystems. Multidisciplinary and synergetic approaches including international collaboration will be taken to achieve this research. Research results will provide scientific support to the innovative sustainable management of ecosystems and inform land use policies, critical to the resource-based economy of Canada.

生物多样性保护的核心是对物种如何在景观中进行环境变化的理解。该项目提出了研究，旨在了解生物多样性维持，建模并预测土地使用和气候变化的影响，并开发评估受威胁物种和脆弱生态系统的消灭风险的方法和工具。将采用包括国际合作在内的多学科和协同方法来实现这项研究。研究结果将为生态系统的创新可持续管理提供科学支持，并为加拿大基于资源的经济至关重要的土地使用政策提供信息。
