This Tactical Restoration Plan was developed to provide guidance on priorities for restoration in the Tweedsmuir-Entiako caribou range. The plan includes a framework for selecting priorities for restoration with an emphasis on functional restoration of linear corridors to reduce predator movement and predation risk, and is intended to be used as a planning tool for restoration activities on the range. 

Specific objectives of the Tactical Restoration Plan for the Tweedsmuir-Entiako caribou range include:

  • to produce a comprehensive habitat disturbance map for the range;
  • to develop criteria for prioritizing restoration activities and identifying restoration sites within priority restoration areas;
  • to engage with First Nations to incorporate knowledge and interests, develop criteria, and coordinate priority areas for restoration activities within the range;
  • to develop preliminary restoration implementation plans for two priority restoration sites; and,
  • to develop a monitoring plan for collecting data to assess treatment success and wildlife response to restoration activities.
