Chemicals Management Plan: Wildlife Monitoring and Surveillance Program, terrestrial

The Wildlife Contaminants Monitoring and Surveillance Program assesses contaminant exposure in terrestrial wildlife across Canada. Biological samples, including eggs and tissues, from the sentinel species European starlings are collected and provide a complementary perspective on contaminant exposure in terrestrial and urban-associated ecosystems. This monitoring evaluates spatial and temporal trends in contaminant levels within these environments.
