Ecosystems & Biodiversity

Our nation’s biodiversity is facing unprecedented challenges, and the law is key to its protection. Delve into the legal frameworks that help preserve species, habitats, and water resources, ensuring a thriving natural environment for future generations.

About the Topic

Biodiversity and thriving ecosystems are essential components of Alberta’s environmental health, serving as a foundation for developing our environmental laws.

Through our work, we champion the protection of natural spaces, habitats, and wildlife through comprehensive legal research and policy analysis. From safeguarding endangered species to restoring wetlands and watersheds, our work addresses the urgent need for stronger legal protections against habitat destruction and harmful land use practices.

Our research explores Alberta’s policies, such as the Water Act and wildlife conservation laws, while drawing inspiration from successful approaches in other regions. We aim to empower advocates and communities to push for reforms that ensure the survival of ecosystems and the biodiversity they sustain. Together, we can preserve Alberta’s natural legacy for generations to come.
