- The **Decision Tree** of the [*Boreal Caribou Monitoring Toolkit*](https://www.cclmportal.ca/resource/boreal-caribou-monitoring-toolkit) is intended to help users discuss and potentially select the boreal caribou monitoring methods that are most suitable for their project or program. By applying the selection criteria in the Decision Tree, the user can consider the relative advantages of various methods to their specific monitoring goals.
- It is important to note that the Decision Tree is not meant to be a prescriptive tool, rather, is intended to be used in combination with the other tools in the toolkit.
- How it works: The Decision Tree will ask 4 questions, and based on the answers selected, step 5 will show a list of possible methods which fit your needs. As of step 6, you will be provided with links to tools related to monitoring method(s) which met the answers you provided through the Decision Tree. Users are encouraged to review these resources, as they contain important planning considerations and requirements that are not currently captured in the decision tree.
