The Status of Human Footprint in Alberta

Description: In this report , we take an in-depth look at the status and trend of human footprint throughout Alberta, and broken down by natural region and Land-use Framework planning region. We also present results for two case studies - Athabasca Oil Sands Area and Southern East Slopes. Finally, we spotlight three applications of human footprint data-identifying native habitat, examining effects of industrial sectors on species, and prioritizing linear features for restoration-to demonstrate how ABMI human footprint data can be used to support management.
