Are they avoiding the area?  Are they  feeling at home there still?  Have they maybe changed their behavior, their movement patterns?  In particular, are they using  the river valleys?     It\u2019s  been said or known before that that river could  be very important to animals in the area.   <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAccording to Holger Spaedtke, the WHEC team is using remote cameras and radio collars to capture data for the study\u2019s two  projects.\n<\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today to <b>Syncrude<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/>\nI&#8217;M CHERYL CROUCHER<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.syncrude.com\">Syncrude<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/SyncrudeLogo.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02012-03-15<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>WHEC<\/b> is a study on how<b> oil sands development <\/b>is affecting <b>habitat<\/b> for boreal animals like moose, wolves and other species.  <b>Holger Spaedtke<\/b> from the University of Alberta presented his findings at a recent CONRAD symposium on oil sands reclamation research.  <em>(Syncrude Canada Ltd)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29,59,19,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-oil-sands","category-syncrude","category-water","category-wildlife","has-post-title","has-post-date","has-post-category","has-post-tag","has-post-comment","has-post-author",""],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1153"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1153\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4782,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1153\/revisions\/4782"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
