At current levels of industrial development, pipelines and linear features have a very small negative effect on caribou populations compared to the high levels of predation.

Wolves choose to move through linear features when available, and that by doing so they could move two to three times faster than in natural forest.

We undertook a wildfire risk assessment across the Cold Lake caribou range where we used the Burn-P3 model to determine: a) burn probability; b) wildfire risk to restored seismic line areas; and c) the effectiveness of mitigation measures. The burn probability of the landscape was highly heterogeneous, and recent large burns and some waterbodies provided “shields” that reduced burn probability on their leeward sides.
