Alberta Wildlife Watch Program

Overview

The Alberta Wildlife Watch Program collects and analyzes data on animal-vehicle collisions (AVCs) throughout Alberta to:

• reduce AVCs on provincial highways
• improve driver safety
• minimize the impacts of highways on wildlife populations

The program identifies AVC-prone locations to:

• provide high-quality data for effective decision-making
• inform the development of Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridor policies and standards
• allow for innovation
• evaluate the effectiveness of long-term mitigation activities

AVC mitigation guidelines

• Guideline for planning animal-vehicle collision mitigations
• Guideline for planning wildlife crossing structures
• Guideline for planning wildlife exclusion fencing
