CWQI

CWQI, or the Canadian Wildlife Quality Index, is a comprehensive assessment tool used to evaluate the quality of wildlife habitat in Canada. Developed by the Canadian Wildlife Federation, CWQI provides a standardized method for comparing the ecological health of different areas. It considers various factors such as habitat diversity, water quality, and the presence of wildlife species. The index is divided into several categories, including terrestrial, aquatic, and wetland habitats, each with its own set of indicators. These indicators are based on scientific research and expert knowledge, ensuring that the assessments are both rigorous and relevant. CWQI is widely used by conservationists, policymakers, and land managers to prioritize conservation efforts and make informed decisions about land use and development. By providing a clear and objective measure of wildlife habitat quality, CWQI plays a crucial role in promoting biodiversity and ecological sustainability in Canada.
