This is a report on a study mandated by the Cree First Nation of Waswanipi which aimed to identify and describe critical woodland caribou calving habitats within the Waswanipi territory between 2004 and 2020. The primary objectives of the study were to:

1. Identify individual calving ranges within Waswanipi.
2. Identify the habitat characteristics of calving ranges using habitat selection analysis.
3. Identify critical calving habitats within Waswanipi and describe their status (quantity and quality) over the course of study period.
4. Provide recommendations on the protection of existing calving habitats.
