Ecological Integrity
The Environmental Indicators Monitoring Program at Parc national du Mont-Orford
Since 2004, the Environmental Indicators Monitoring Program (EIMP) (see also the summary, in French only) has been implemented at Parc national du Mont-Orford. A total of 23 indicators are monitored.
- An indicator measuring the influence of hiking trails to assess the impact of hikers on the walking surface (widening, erosion, etc.)
- Monitoring stream salamanders, amphibians that are very sensitive to changes in their habitat
- An indicator on the condition of campsites (with services or primitive) to assess the impact of visitors in the infrastructures and the natural environment
