Camera Monitoring of Culturally Important Mammals

on McMurray Métis Traplines

McMurray Métis community members hunt and trap animals throughout their traditional territory.

Industrial development related to oil sands exploration and extraction started over 50 years ago and occupies lands within McMurray Métis’ Traditional Territory. Trappers and land users in the community have raised concerns regarding how this activity is affecting culturally-important animal species. To address these questions, the McMurray Métis community initiated a wildlife camera monitoring project in partnership with the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute and InnoTech Alberta.
