Wildlife Response to Forest Stands Impacted by Mountain Pine Beetle in western Canada

Both the spread of mountain pine beetle and actions taken to slow its spread have wide ranging effects on wildlife, including species at risk such as caribou. The goals of this project is to provide land managers in government and industry with knowledge and tools to evaluate the consequences of mountain pine beetle (MPB) infestation and control actions.

Results, including an interactive planning tool, will support proactive planning and policy for areas where MPB do not yet occur, allowing land mangers to mitigate the potential impact of MPB on ecological and economic values.
