What it does
The Integrated Landscape Dynamics (ILD) program provides world-class forest data, monitoring and reporting, and generates a robust knowledge foundation to better understand forest ecosystem dynamics and services, and how they are impacted by natural and anthropogenic changes. The knowledge and tools developed through this program contribute to decision-making regarding many national issues, such as climate change, biodiversity, management of forest landscapes, and market access for Canada’s forest products. Collaborative research and data initiatives with provinces and territories, Indigenous peoples, academia, other NRCan sectors and federal departments, industry, and other groups, are the foundation of this program making significant contributions to healthy forest landscapes and sustainable development.
