A Cumulative Watershed Effects Assessment Template for the Eastern Slopes: The Geomorphic and Riparian Components with a Case Study of Todd Creek Watershed
Resource
This three-part document provides a template to guide cumulative watershed effects assessments (CWEA) within Alberta's Eastern Slopes.
Analysis and Improvement of Linear Features to Increase Caribou Functional Habitat in West-central and North-western Alberta
Resource
We used GPS data from caribou and wolves, field data on human and wildlife use of seismic lines and pipelines, vegetation heights extracted from LiDAR, non-invasive fecal DNA collections, and a suite...
Behaviour and Calving Success of Boreal Caribou in Relation to Oil and Gas Development
Resource
Anthropogenic disturbance like oil and gas development is thought to negatively affect boreal caribou through displacement and degradation of habitat, and through creation of favourable conditions for...
Caribou Conservation Through Better Cutblock Design: Year 1 Update
Resource
This 2-page briefing note provides a quick Year 1 update on a Caribou Program project undertaken by fRI Research, which aims to provide information on forest management that could limit habitat for...
Caribou Ecology and Recovery Webinar Series - "A Holistic Approach to Restoration in FNFN Territory: By Us, For Us"
Resource
Abstract: Climate change is expected to increasingly impact populations of woodland caribou and much focus has been placed on how a warming climate has facilitated the northward expansion of apparent...
Caribou Ecology and Recovery Webinar Series - "Alberta’s Moose Lake Access Management Plan: Its Potential to Support Indigenous Rights and Caribou Critical Habitat Requirements"
Resource
Abstract: This joint presentation by representatives of Fort McKay First Nation and Alberta Wilderness Association will describe the vision and significance of Alberta’s landmark 2021 Moose Lake...
Caribou Ecology and Recovery Webinar Series - "Disentangling the Influence of Anthropogenic Habitat Alteration from Climate on Expanding White-tailed Deer Populations in Western Canada"
Resource
Abstract: White-tailed deer have become increasingly common within caribou range in northern Alberta, and have been linked with an increase in wolf densities. Previous studies have speculated that...
Caribou Ecology and Recovery Webinar Series - "Let it Grow? Moose Response to Habitat Disturbance in Caribou Ranges"
Resource
Join us to explore the latest research supporting caribou recovery in Canada—from general ecology, to the mechanisms of caribou declines, to potential recovery options. The series begins with a...
Caribou Ecology and Recovery Webinar Series - "Predicting Patterns of Terrestrial Lichen Biomass Recovery Following Boreal Wildfires"
Resource
Abstract: Increased fire activity due to climate change may impact the successional dynamics of boreal forests, with important consequences for caribou habitat. Early successional forests have been...

Join us to explore the latest research supporting caribou recovery in Canada—from general ecology, to the mechanisms of caribou declines, to potential recovery options. The series begins with a...
Caribou, Fire, and Forestry - Literature Review
Resource
With of goal of understanding how silviculture and harvesting practices might mirror those of natural disturbances, here we summarize research describing differences in responses of caribou and...
Caribou in the Cross-fire? Considering Terrestrial Lichen Forage in the Face of Mountain Pine Beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) Expansion
Resource
Abstract Mountain pine beetle (MPB) has become an invasive forest pest of mature pine in western North America as it spreads beyond its former endemic range. Management actions such as timber harvest...
Caribou Mortality and Disease Prevalence in West-central Alberta
Resource
Woodland caribou are in decline across their range and although the proximate cause of decline is unsustainable rates of predation, health is increasingly recognised as a factor that may contribute to...
Caribou Response to Oil and Gas Activities: Do Regeneration and Activity Levels Matter?
Resource
