It is important to demonstrate that our land reclamation practices are creating productive habitats for local species to return, including those of traditional value to Indigenous communities. This is done through monitoring techniques such as visual observations, capture and release of birds, acoustic recordings, motion-activated cameras and track plates that detect a diversity of wildlife.
