Method Suitability Tables are intended to help the user compare boreal caribou methods to each other. *Method suitability table 1: Selecting a monitoring method that suits your objectives* provides an overview of the boreal caribou population parameters (columns) which can be measured by the different field methods (rows).

When using this table, please note:

- Checkmark scores are relative (as opposed to absolute), and only consider the methods in the table.
- There is one more Method Suitability Table in the boreal caribou monitoring toolkit. Be sure to view [Suitability table 2- Comparing suitability and requirements of monitoring methods](https://www.cclmportal.ca/resource/suitability-table-2-comparing-suitability-and-requirements-monitoring-methods).
- These tables are meant to be used in combination with the other tools in the toolkit. Be sure to view the rest of the [Boreal Caribou Monitoring Toolkit](https://www.cclmportal.ca/resource/boreal-caribou-monitoring-toolkit) for more resources.
