Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
A Greener World May Hold Red Flags for Woodland Caribou
Resource
A team from the ABMI’s Caribou Monitoring Unit, studied links between habitat alteration (e.g., forest harvesting), primary productivity, moose, wolves, and caribou across the Canadian boreal forest
A Literature Review for Monitoring Rare and Elusive Species, and Recommendations on Survey Design for Monitoring Boreal Caribou
Resource
Effective wildlife management requires monitoring changes in the spatial distribution of species, their population size and their population trend (Williams et al. 2002; Sinclair et al. 2006)...

Advanced Landcover Prediction & Habitat Assessment (ALPHA) Products
Project
Organization:
The ABMI's Advanced Landcover Prediction & Habitat Assessment (ALPHA) program uses Earth observation data and spatial data science to map and monitor Alberta's natural landscape. All of the ABMI’s...
Applying Remote Sensing for Large-landscape Problems: Inventorying and Tracking Habitat Recovery for a Broadly Distributed Species At Risk
Resource
Anthropogenic habitat alteration is leading to the reduction of global biodiversity. Consequently, there is an imminent need to understand the state and trend of habitat alteration across broad areas...

Assessing the Influence of In Situ Industrial Development on Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Movement in the Lower Athabasca Planning Region of Alberta. 2012 Final Report
Resource
With few exceptions, permeability across in situ developments was the main factor affecting caribou movement. Relationship was non-linear, suggesting a minimum threshold of permeability is needed
Assessing the Influence of Industrial Development on Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in the Lower Athabasca Planning Region of Alberta: 2011 Final Report
Resource
At current levels of industrial development, pipelines and linear features have a very small negative effect on caribou populations compared to the high levels of predation.
Blog: A New Approach to Habitat Recovery Could Help Threatened Woodland Caribou
Resource
From a caribou’s perspective, seismic lines might be considered effectively ‘restored’—that is, the additional risk associated with them might be considered negligible—once vegetation reaches 50 cm
Blog: Canadian Scientists Collaborate to Map Biodiversity and the Human Footprint
Resource
With the support of Alberta Environment and Parks, the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute has become the trusted source for data about habitat, species, and the human footprint.
Blog: Caribou Habitat Loss Continues in Alberta and BC
Resource
Habitat loss occurred in nearly 70% of caribou ranges in AB and BC, and on average they lost more than twice as much habitat as they gained over the period for which data were available
Blog: Exploring the Effects of Landscape and Climate Change on White-tailed Deer - and What They Might Mean for Caribou
Resource
These results suggest that restoring caribou habitat to nearly unaltered conditions may help to slow white-tail expansion, reduce predator densities, and, by extension, ,lower predation on caribou.
Blog: How do you Help Save Endangered Caribou? Stop the Invading Moose!
Resource
In area with increased moose hunting, moose populations dropped by a surprising 70% and caribou survival rates increased by more than 10% - enough that the caribou population stabilized
Blog: Life in the Fast Lane: Wolves, Caribou, and Human Development
Resource
Wolves choose to move through linear features when available, and that by doing so they could move two to three times faster than in natural forest.
Blog: New Collaborative Research in the Race to Save Woodland Caribou
Resource
Woodland caribou populations in Alberta and BC are declining, and many will be lost without fast management action. To stem the decline in local population loss, intensively applying a cocktail of...
Collaborative Landscape Data to Support Woodland Caribou Recovery Planning in Northwestern Alberta
Resource
We collected high-resolution aerial imagery and associated ground-truthed data from four sampling blocks in two caribou ranges to assess human footprint accuracy and state of vegetation recovery.
Collaborative research and monitoring of migratory Eastern Cape Chruchill caribou
Project
Organization:
The Cape Churchill caribou herd, part of the Eastern Migratory caribou population, resides along the western coast of Hudson Bay and has been largely unstudied. However, they are locally important to...
