Measuring nature’s benefits: A wetland ecosystem services tool for Prairie Canada
People derive many benefits from nature. These benefits, which are sometimes referred to as ecosystem services, are crucial to human wellbeing, including in the context of mitigation of the dual crises of global climate change and biodiversity loss. Researchers at Ducks Unlimited Canada’s Institute for Wetland and Water-fowl Research have developed a tool to quantify carbon, biodiversity, water regulation and nutrient retention ecosystem services from wetlands in Prairie Canada. This tool allows us to quantify and communicate the benefits of prairie wetland conservation and learn about synergies and trade-offs amongst ecosystem services.

Adapting With Virtual Fencing: Managing for wildlife and healthy grasslands in the Northern Great Plains part 1
Virtual EventVirtual fencing is still a new and developing technology, but for many ranchers, it has transformed how they raise livestock while protecting and rejuvenating native grasslands and wildlife that rely on intact and healthy working lands.
Join Quivira Coalition and World Wildlife Fund for a two-part webinar series on virtual fencing!
May 12: Join Andrew Jakes, a senior research scientist with the Wyoming Migration Initiative and Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, and rancher Leo Barthelmess to learn about the connections between sustainable wildlife habitats and virtual fencing ranch management.
