• Recycled aluminum reduces pollution by 95 percent.
  • Four pounds of bauxite are saved for every pound of aluminum recycled.
  • Enough aluminum is thrown away to rebuild our commercial air fleet four times every year.
  • Recycled aluminum saves 95 percent energy versus virgin aluminum; recycling of one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours.
 

Wolves

Wolf populations in southwestern Alberta's "cattle country" are growing. Can wolves and livestock mix? The answer appears to be "sometimes."

Project Overview

In order to better understand when and why wolves prey on cattle, and how this can be prevented, researchers with the Central Rockies Wolf Project will study the number of wolves and their movement.

Southwestern Alberta is a critical part of the wildlife travel corridor which extends along the Rocky Mountains from Montana to north-central Alberta and B.C. Researchers will radio-collar and track wolves to investigate predation avoidance and aversion-conditioning techniques that will be widely available to local communities. This project is an exciting opportunity to achieve community-based conservation for one of Alberta's most high-profile, often-maligned carnivores.
