Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) measure the progress of the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy, report to Canadians on the state of the environment, and describe Canada’s progress on key environmental sustainability issues. The indicators, built on rigorous methodology, are added and updated as new, high quality data become available.
Environment Canada is committed to the advancement of innovative environmental technologies that offer improved environmental quality and human health, and stronger economic growth that will benefit Canadians.

A review of national wood supply versus that which has been harvested since 1990 and an assessment of what is deemed sustainable timber harvest, providing insight on the health of the timber industry.
The current document has been developed to provide proponents with information on the types of protocols likely to be useful for baseline studies and follow-up monitoring at proposed wind energy sites to evaluate impacts of wind turbines on birds.
Wind energy projects have the potential to affect birds adversely through direct fatalities, disturbance, and habitat loss. The purpose of this document is to outline the nature of information needed in an EA to identify, assess, monitor and mitigate the potential adverse effects of wind energy projects on birds, especially migratory birds and species at risk (SAR). This is an essential component of any EA of wind energy projects.
