The Canadian Wildlife Service LRTAP Biomonitoring Program
Author: Donald Keith McNicol
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Acid deposition
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
"Acid rain poses a serious threat to wildlife that rely on aquatic ecosystems in eastern Canada, including many birds, mammals and amphibians. Studies conducted by the Canadian WiIdlife Service (CWS) since 1980 have shown that aquatic birds are adversely affected by acidity through a variety of ecological and ecotoxological processes that occur at lower trophic levels, but which may ultimately cause reproductive impairment and/or shifts in habitat selection or diet. The CWS LRTAP Biomonitoring Program was established in 1987 to verify the rate, nature and extent of biological recovery of aquatic ecosystems in eastern Canada following the implementation of acid rain control programs in Canada and the United States"--Abstract.

An Environmental History of Canada
Author: Laurel Sefton MacDowell
Publisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774821035
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Throughout history most people have associated northern North America with wilderness – with abundant fish and game, snow-capped mountains, and endless forest and prairie. Canada’s contemporary picture gallery, however, contains more disturbing images – deforested mountains, empty fisheries, and melting ice caps. Adopting both a chronological and thematic approach, Laurel MacDowell examines human interactions with the land, and the origins of our current environmental crisis, from first peoples to the Kyoto Protocol. This richly illustrated exploration of the past from an environmental perspective will change the way Canadians and others around the world think about – and look at – Canada.
