The Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement commits signatories to promote recovery of boreal caribou through regional caribou action planning across Canada. The following primer describes how the national disturbance threshold was derived, and the opportunities that exist to better understand variation in the relationship between disturbance and caribou response at a population level. The primer answers key questions that have been raised about the NRS and disturbance thresholds by CBFA signatories, and sets the foundation for identification of uncertainties that could be addressed by future work.
