These results suggest that restoring caribou habitat to nearly unaltered conditions may help to slow white-tail expansion, reduce predator densities, and, by extension, ,lower predation on caribou.

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.
