How Funding Will Help
Caribou adoptions will support the work of PhD candidate Yifeng Wang, who is conducting the very first dedicated research project for the investigation of peatland permafrost in coastal Labrador. This rare and under-studied ecosystem is home to many interesting and important vegetation and wildlife, such as bakeapples, caribou, and foxes. Unfortunately, in many places across the North peatland permafrost is expected to thaw, and with the thaw comes changes in local hydrology and vegetation that will have negative impacts on wildlife habitat.

More About the Project

Using a combination of field investigations via foot, drone and helicopter, remote sensing, and thermal modelling, Yifeng aims to understand where peatland permafrost is found, how it has changed, and how it might continue to change in the future. This work will form the foundation of scientific knowledge related to peatland permafrost in the coastal Labrador region, which will be crucial in the development of local and regional strategies for wildlife management.
