Environmental Monitoring Research Projects
First Nations–Led Wildlife Research Partnerships
Wataynikaneyap Power will partner with First Nations and academic institution(s) to complete four research projects within six years of construction completion (May 2024). Research projects are separate from monitoring programs:
- Two research projects for caribou
- One research project for wolverines
- One research project for bats (to improve population monitoring and address key knowledge gaps on bat recovery and threats such as White-nose Syndrome)
