Shane Gabor, M.Sc.

Partnering with volunteers and staff to acquire the funds necessary for conservation and IWWR’s most important research initiatives.

Shane Gabor joined IWWR in 1991 and has had leadership roles on wetland and waterfowl research projects across Canada. His activities and research have focused on evaluating and communicating the environmental, social and economic values of the ecological goods and service provided by natural habitats. His work on the impacts of wetland drainage on water quality and flooding has highlighted the critical need for effective wetland protection.

Currently, Shane works with volunteers and staff to acquire the funds necessary for conservation initiatives and IWWR’s most important research initiatives.

Education

• M.Sc., McGill University
• B.Sc., Wildlife Biology, University of Montana
• Diploma, Renewable Resource Management, Lethbridge Community College
