Generously sponsored by the Alberta Conservation Association and the Alberta Cooperative Conservation Research Unit
The ACA Grants in Biodiversity program is funded by the Alberta Conservation Association and operated through the Alberta Cooperative Conservation Research Unit – a partnership between the University of Alberta, the University of Calgary and the University of Lethbridge. With this year’s awards, the 17 year old ACA Grants in Biodiversity has now awarded over $3.6 million dollars to 361 researchers. The research supported by the ACA Grants in Biodiversity ultimately aims to conserve, protect and enhance Alberta's fish, wildlife and natural habitats.
The 2010-2011 Biennial Report for the ACA Grants in Biodiversity is now available online and in print. If you would like a paper copy of the report, please contact the Administrator and she would be happy to send you one.
