The cost of inaction
Research and data-driven decision making is at the heart of what we do. Predictive modelling tools show us the impact extreme weather and sea level rise will have on our watersheds and communities.
Leveraging technological advances
Technology is critical to mapping eco-systems and monitoring, managing, and measuring their performance. Existing partnerships with academic institutes and funding partners help advance our tools and data sets.
Research
There is a lot of work to be done in the race to mitigate the worst impacts of extreme weather events.
This is why project prioritization is key and access to data sets, research and modelling tools is critical to success.
The Nature Force advantage is that projects are not just prioritized and planned, they are delivered and include for ongoing monitoring and management for years to come. This data is then aggregated to inform future conservation research, actions, policies, and protocols.
Conservation partner Ducks Unlimited Canada has been working towards a comprehensive Canadian Wetland Inventory (CWI) for 20 years in partnership with Environment Canada, the Canadian Space Agency and the North American Wetlands Conservation Council. This is critical for prioritizing efforts and monitoring wetland performance, assessing changes and climate change concerns, while assisting industry, governments and conservation groups to develop land-use policies and protocols and measuring their performance.
