Forestry Increases Predation Risk for Caribou

This infographic by Sunny Tseng describes the key results from a paper by Tracy McKay and Dr. Laura Finnegan. Forest harvesting changes ungulate densities, which influences caribou predation by shared predators. Higher planting densities and controlling specific forage species could draw fewer predators and prey into caribou ranges.
