Boreal Data Mobilization
BAM has worked with data partners across North America to harmonize a dataset of millions of bird surveys across the boreal forest. We use that…
Boreal Bird Density and Habitat Models
BAM integrates millions of bird records from partners across North America to produce spatially-explicit, high-resolution models of bird density. These models provide information on distribution,…
Data Integration
BAM has developed and works with a group of statistical experts like Partners in Flight to continue to refine specialized statistical approaches (QPAD) that correct…
Species at Risk Science
BAM collaborates with conservation practitioners and scientists to develop predictive models and science to inform assessment and recovery actions for species at risk. Work includes…
Anthropogenic Impacts on Boreal Birds
Using predictive modelling and ecological simulation to understand the impacts of land-use change (agriculture, forest management, energy sector, transportation infrastructure) on boreal bird populations. BAM…
Climate Change Impacts on Boreal Birds
BAM develops spatial models to project how climate change may alter the distribution and abundance of boreal landbirds and waterfowl, including the effects of vegetation…
Conservation Planning Tools
BAM collaborates with research partners and organizations to inform multi-species conservation planning, understand species co-benefits, quantify the conservation value of certified lands, and enable cross-border…
Satellite Data in Boreal Bird Models of Change Over Time
Funded by the Canadian Space Agency smartEarth initiative (announced October 2025). BAM is incorporating multi-spectral, time-matched Earth Observation data from Landsat, Sentinel, and RADARSAT satellites…
CanAvian — Canadian Network for Avian Data
CanAvian is a network of research organizations overseeing Canada’s largest biodiversity data platforms: NatureCounts (360M records), Motus (8B records), and WildTrax (16M records). Funded by…
