项目摘要

Grizzly-PAW: Grizzly Population Assessment in yelloWhead Northwest North America is home to the world's remaining grizzly bears (Ursus arctos). Grizzly bears are considered a threatened species in Alberta and as a result a considerable amount of research has taken place on conservation strategies to inform policy makers and management activities in the region. From a management perspective there is much uncertainty about current population levels and how anthropogenic landscape change and human activities have affected grizzly bears in Alberta in the past and into the future. Extensive research has been conducted in the Yellowhead BMA with the first grizzly bear population unit inventory undertaken on provincial lands here in 2004 with the population estimated at 42 bears, lower than previously thought. The area continues to be a key focus of grizzly bear research due to its ongoing industrial and human activity including forest harvesting, oil and gas development and exploration, and coal mining and expansions. Our industry partners wish to better understand how changes in road density and landscape conditions are changing the habitat selection, health and mortality of grizzly bears in the region towards development of long term conservations strategies and target for the species.

灰熊：黄头的灰熊人口评估北美西北部是世界上剩下的灰熊（Ursus arctos）的所在地。灰熊在艾伯塔省被认为是受威胁的物种，因此，已经进行了大量研究，以告知该地区的政策制定者和管理活动。从管理层的角度来看，当前人口水平以及人为景观的变化和人类活动如何影响过去和未来的灰熊熊。 2004年，在Yellowhead BMA进行了广泛的研究，在2004年，在省级土地上进行了第一个灰熊人口单位库存，估计人口为42只熊，低于以前认为的熊。由于其正在进行的工业和人类活动，包括森林收获，石油和天然气开发和勘探以及煤炭开采和扩张，该地区仍然是灰熊研究的重点。我们的行业合作伙伴希望更好地理解道路密度和景观条件的变化如何改变该地区的栖息地的选择，健康和灰熊的死亡率，以发展长期保护策略和物种的目标。
