The CEI constructed (2020) the first enclosure built to international specifications for rearing orphaned Grizzly bear cubs, (Ursus arctos), east of the Rocky Mountains.
Developing and Acoustical Landscape of the CEI Property
CEI has begun recording the acoustical landscape of the property. This will involve the recording and identification of mammal, avian and amphibian species. This will build on acoustical work done of Swift Fox in the 1990 and be the basis for an acoustical identification system for existing species.
We are participating in the Alberta Community Bat Program!
We will be collecting, recording, and surveying local bats in our area to provide (ACBP) information for their research!
Since 1967, at its own expense, CEI has worked under Permit with both federal and provincial governments on reintroduction programs.
The reintroduction expertise of the CEI has been recognized by the Federal Government (1st Rio Biodiversity Summit), by the government of Norway (2004) and Government of South Korea (2018).
