A Causal Modelling Approach to Informing Woodland Caribou Conservation Policy from Observational Studies
Resource
Examines the scientific framework for woodland caribou recovery efforts through the lens of causal modelling, highlighting feasible steps that could be taken to improve the rigour of causal inferences
Behavioural Responses of Southern Mountain Caribou to Helicopter and Skiing Activities
Resource
Helicopter- and snowcat-supported backcountry skiing is a unique industry that is widespread throughout southern mountain caribou habitat in British Columbia (BC). We analyzed records of helicopter...
Boreal Caribou Habitat Restoration on the Parker Range
Project
Organization:
This is the first collaborative, landscape range restoration project of this scale in Canada, with Golder leading this group of stakeholders through the development of the project permitting, barriers...
Effect of Forest Understorey Stand Density on Woodland Caribou Habitat Use
Resource
Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) are considered to preferentially use older forests that provide abundant terrestrial lichen forage and refuge from predators. However, structural...
Effect of Forest Understory Stand Density on Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) Habitat Selection
Resource
Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)) use older forests that provide abundant terrestrial lichen forage and refuge from predators. However, forest structural characteristics...
Nested Population Structure of Threatened Boreal Caribou Revealed by Network Analysis
Resource
Delineating relevant local populations of widely distributed species is a common challenge in conservation ecology. Caribou and reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus) are in general decline throughout their...
Spatial Structure of Boreal Woodland Caribou Populations in Northwest Canada
Resource
Understanding spatial distributions of organisms and the consequences for conservation policy and management decisions remain important challenges. We describe a method for grouping caribou into plausible candidate Local Population Units that may better approximate geographic closure than the existing LPUs.
Testing Functional Restoration of Linear Features within Boreal Caribou Range
Resource
The boreal ecotype of woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) is provincially Red-listed in British Columbia and federally listed as Threatened. Population declines of boreal caribou have been...
Towards Undisturbed Habitat: Forest Management in Alberta's Caribou Ranges - ARCKP Project Report
Resource
This report addresses the lack of guidance from the federal recovery strategies for woodland caribou on when suitable habitat, after being disturbed by anthropogenic activities such as forest...
Webinar: Managing Alberta’s Forests to Achieve Undisturbed Habitat Conditions
Resource
Federal recovery strategies for woodland caribou do not provide guidance on when suitable caribou habitat, after being disturbed by anthropogenic activities, should again be considered “undisturbed.”...
