This report explores the interactions between wildlife and waste at the Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg, Manitoba, using a comprehensive project management plan. The introduction in Chapter 1 details the critical need for improved waste management to mitigate its effects on biodiversity loss and contributions to climate change. The following three chapters illustrate the deliverables produced by this project: the Integrated Project Plan (Chapter 2), Communication Outreach (Chapter 3), and the main component of this project, the Wildlife and Waste Interactions Project report (Chapter 4). The Integrated Project Plan covers the essential project management aspects, such as the project charter and scope, used to carry out the entire project. Chapter 3 details how communication outreach was implemented to raise awareness about the project going on at the zoo and engage a broader audience. Finally, Chapter 4 presents the final project report submitted to the Assiniboine Park Zoo. This report provides insights into wildlife and waste interactions at the zoo based on trail camera data and field observations. It offers practical recommendations based on the results from the study, aimed at improving waste management practices, reducing wildlife attraction to waste, and suggests future studies to enhance waste management efforts further. The last chapter critically reflects on the practicum, discussing learning outcomes and insights gained from the project’s execution and completion. In summary, this document used a project management approach to implement a study highlighting the unique relationship between wildlife and waste.
