CEI Ongoing Programs

CEI Ongoing Programs
	WILDLIFE RESCUE: Since 1972, the CEI has been rescuing orphaned and injured wildlife, rearing or rehabilitating them, and returning them back to the wild. As we impact wilderness to a greater and greater degree human/wildlife conflict occurs more and more often and wildlife always suffers. Rescuing and rehabilitating orphaned and injured wildlife is also vital public service as no government Agency is mandated to undertake it.
	WHALEFORCE; This program was initiated in 1986! With the help of racing and cruising coastal and blue-water yachtsmen and women the CEI has been gathering and collating information on the World’s cetaceans (whales dolphins and porpoises) with the aim of establishing an unbiased assessment of abundance so we can contribute towards monitoring the health of the seas and oceans.
	ENDANGERED SPECIES; Since 1972 the CEI has bred swift fox for reintroduction and release in Canada and the USA. The result of that effort has been the re-establishment of this once extinct species in Canada and the Northern States of the USA.
	EDUCATION: Since 1972 the CEI has undertaken public Education programmes. We provide them to schools for classes K-12, partnered the Calgary Science network when they visit the Treaty 7 Schools, provide Field Station facilities for undergraduate, graduate, and post graduate research, and visit Communities and community Centres to talk about wildlife.
	TECHNOLOGY EXCHANGE AND CAPACITY BUILDING: Since the 1990, the CEI has been working with First Nations in Canada and Native Americans south of the Border to exchange our knowledge.
	WATERSHED RESEARCH: over the past years, since the beginning of the Century, the CEI has undertaken or facilitated watershed monitoring and research (see Blood Tribe Dug-out Water Quality report (not sure of the name but we did it) Zachery’s amphibian research report, and the Horse Creek Watershed report.
