Regional Carnivore Management Group
Last Review/Updated: September 25, 2007
The Regional Carnivore Management Group (RCMG) was established as a committee of land and resource managers from the Government of Alberta, Jasper National Park, and industry (coal, forestry, oil and gas sectors).
The primary goal of the RCMG was to coordinate grizzly bear research and management efforts in the Alberta Yellowhead Ecosystem within the framework of government policy. The RCMG undertook cooperative approaches toward meeting carnivore conservation goals, which initially focused on the grizzly bear.
The RCMG implemented the following in support of its objectives:
- Assist government agencies with development of procedures for implementing and monitoring landscape conditions necessary to maintain viable carnivore populations.
- Liaise with the Foothills Model Forest (FMF) Grizzly Bear Research Program, industrial operators in grizzly habitat, Jasper National Park, other Alberta Government departments including Sustainable Resource Development, Energy, and Tourism, Parks, Recreation and Culture.
- Provide opportunities for stakeholders in the Yellowhead Ecosystem to communicate their concerns about carnivore management to appropriate government agencies.
- Obtain feedback from agencies, stakeholders and members regarding activities, roles and achievements of the RCMG.
- Promote collaboration and stewardship among agencies and stakeholders.
