Object & Deliverables

 

The overall goal of this Project was to assist in the mitigation of the negative effects of resource development on biodiversity with caribou as an umbrella species.

Specific objectives included determining – if caribou herds are declining and if so, why; if predation is a problem; what rotation ages and harvesting techniques will allow viable caribou populations in the long-term; and how the effects of resource development by several industries can be mitigated to ensure the viability of the caribou herd(s).
