With few exceptions, permeability across in situ developments was the main factor affecting caribou movement. Relationship was non-linear, suggesting a minimum threshold of permeability is needed

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.

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.

Predictions demonstrate that maintaining permeability across In-situ oil sands development is more important than spacing between leases or including protected areas.

Conservation actions directed at the proximate cause of caribou decline have been more successful in the near term than those directed further along the trophic chain.
