Project

Empreinte spatiale des mines sur les oiseaux et les anoures.
In Abitibi-Témiscamingue, the mining industry is an important activity. Unfortunately, it has significant impacts on biodiversity both within and beyond the mine site. Those are known as "off-site ecological impacts." The aim of this project is to quantify changes in biodiversity outside the mine site, along a distance gradient. The use of acoustic recording units will allow us to cover two vocalizing taxa: birds and anurans.
