It began in 1992 when Nature Alberta self-published and distributed the Atlas of Breeding Birds of Alberta. The experience gained from this project has led to our involvement in the development and distribution of several other publications and, since then, Nature Alberta has collaborated with member clubs, government agencies and individuals to produce several additional natural history books. Here’s a snapshot of a couple of our recent publications:
Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas of Alberta: A Nature Alberta ChecklistAlberta has abundant natural areas that support a broad range of birds and wildlife. The Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBA) program is one way in which we help support and promote the protection and conservation of these natural areas that are essential habitat for bird populations, which have been shown to be effective indicators of wider biodiversity. The Important Bird and Biodiveristy Areas Checklist introduces you to Alberta’s IBAs, and highlights a fascinating piece of our province’s natural history that we hope you will take the time to learn about, experience and enjoy.
Shorebirds of Alberta: A Nature Alberta ChecklistAlberta is fortunate to have a broad diversity of bird species and a large community of birding enthusiasts. Through our Bird and Biodiversity Program, we strive to be a strong voice for the recovery of bird species at risk, to increase the appreciation of Alberta’s bird biodiversity, and to promote birding as a worthy recreational pursuit that contributes to a healthy lifestyle. The Shorebirds of Alberta Checklist highlights a fascinating piece of our province’s biodiversity that we hope you will take the time to experience and enjoy.
