We offer a diverse array of professional services to address wildlife and
wildlife habitat issues for our clients. Whether developing wildlife projects,
interpreting results of wildlife programs, or assessing and forming mitigation
strategies for industrial developments, Artemis Wildlife Consultants uses
scientific methods to efficiently and economically provide solutions to even the
most complex wildlife challenge. Our team is led by an
accomplished Registered
Professional Biologists (H. Davis) - guaranteeing that the work we
complete meets the highest standards.
- Project Development and Management
Our personnel have many years of involvement in the successful
development and administration of both small and large wildlife research,
inventory, and habitat management programs. We are efficient at all aspects
of project development and management, having developed successful funding
applications, generated budgets, set objectives, and drafted working plans
for several multi-year wildlife programs. We are efficient project managers, having organized and
executed field activities in all 4 seasons on several large-scale wildlife
programs.
- Habitat Assessments and Prescriptions
Our company has extensive experience examining the relationships between
wildlife and the habitats they occupy. Our personnel have a strong
background in the measurement and analysis of wildlife habitat, having
developed and refined techniques for assessing habitat selectivity at
spatial scales ranging from individual elements to landscapes. We have a
comprehensive working knowledge of the biogeoclimatic ecosystem
classification (BEC) system, having utilized it to classify habitats in both
coastal and interior biogeoclimatic zones.
- Development of Adaptive Management Strategies
%20(2).jpg) We are committed to translating results from our wildlife programs into
effective adaptive management strategies for our clients. We stress a
cooperative approach to management and strive to develop strategies that not
only meet the wildlife objectives of the program, but are also realistic for
industry to implement. We have incorporated the results of our past research
programs into habitat and population management strategies for such clients
as the BC Ministry of Environment, Western Forest Products, and BC Hydro. As
recognized experts for several threatened and endangered species, we are
also capable of helping clients address the requirements for Section 7
results and strategies for species at risk under the Forest Planning and
Practices Regulation.
- Data Analysis and Modelling
Our staff has comprehensive experience developing relational databases
and compiling data using several types of data management software. We are
also efficient at processing and analysing large data sets using many
parametric and non-parametric statistical methods, in addition to
information-theoretic and Bayesian approaches. We have also used
Bayesian Belief Networks to assess the effects of various landscape
management options on habitat supply.
- Report Publication and Production
We have considerable experience preparing a wide range of technical and
professional reports for many different clients. We have produced final
reports detailing our results, conclusions, and recommendations for several
large-scale research projects. As recognized experts on a diverse array of
species, we have also conducted various technical reviews of species
accounts and proposed management options for these species. To ensure that
our work is scientifically defensible, all of our reports and publications
undergo some form of peer review. We also believe that information
needs to be presented so that all interested parties understand it. To this
end, Artemis Wildlife Consultants is committed to presenting the results of
our work in a variety of formats and educational programs.
