Species Recognition and Tracking system for Wildlife using a UAV
The study objective is to develop a field tested and deploy able UAV system to identify, count and track wildlife species endemic to Alberta Canada.
Our Bear Program
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.
