Featured Projects

  • Ridgeline GIS project for landscape reserve design development in the Great Bear Rainforest involving spatial analysis, mapping, and engagement with stakeholders, BC government, and First Nations.

    Landscape Reserve Designs in the Great Bear Rainforest

    We used GIS to develop landscape reserve designs (LRDs) that met provincial biodiversity targets for forest management. Our approach identified areas for managed forest, ensuring harvest opportunities aligned with conservation goals.

  • Ridgeline GIS developed an IRMP or integrated resource management plan with British Columbia First Nation's to conserve wildlife habitat, culturally significant areas, and opportunity for economic development.

    Integrated Resource Management Plan

    Supported the development of an Integrated Resource Management Plan in collaboration with a First Nation. We identified key areas for protection, including salmon-bearing streams, wildlife corridors, and culturally significant sites, designating them as no-harvest zones while preserving opportunities for economic development.

  • Arctic Blue Corridors is a project developed by World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) and Ridgeline GIS completed spatial analysis work and mapping to track whale migrations in the Arctic.

    Arctic Blue Corridors

    This project focused on assessing the overlap between vessel traffic and whale migration routes in the Arctic. By mapping and evaluating these interactions, we aimed to identify critical areas for conservation and inform strategies to mitigate potential impacts on whale populations.

  • Ridgeline GIS Solutions partnered with Stand Earth a conservation non-profit to map impacts in the Amazon Rainforest through spatial analysis and GIS mapping.

    Amazon Rainforest Analysis

    Assessed environmental impacts in the Amazon Rainforest using GIS. The analysis identified critical conservation areas and supported the development of sustainable management strategies to protect the ecosystem.
