Implementing the Jasper National Park Management Plan: Ecosystem Science and Involving People in Restoration and Recovery
Kevin Van Tighem, Jesse Whittington, Brenda Dobson, Alan Westhaver, Shawn Cardiff, and Carolyn Duchoslav |
| We
present and discuss a series of five case studies that
implement the Jasper National Park Management Plan
through ecosystem restoration and/or species recovery.
Each case study demonstrates an interdisciplinary
approach. Ecosystem science informs problem definition,
options development and decision-making, or is used in
evaluating the effectiveness of a restoration or
recovery approach. In each case, a key to restoration or
recovery is the involvement of people from the local,
regional or national community both as knowledgeable
experts in their own domains and as interested
stakeholders. Projects discussed are: 1) woodland
caribou recovery, 2) wildlife corridor restoration near
Jasper Park Lodge, 3) fuelbreak development around
Jasper townsite area facilities, 4) trail
reconfiguration in the Athabasca Valley to minimize
wildlife disturbance, and 5) Jasper community
involvement in restoration. |
