Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) are key landscape features, providing important ecosystem services to municipalities at regional and local scales. The stewardship of ESAs is essential to the long-term maintenance of ecosystem function and biological diversity of the region. The ESAs dashboard presents data on ESAs in the Calgary Metropolitan Region, based on definitions, criteria and a database of ESAs developed for the Calgary Metropolitan Region Board (CMRB) in 2024.
