Satellite Collaring Barren Ground Caribou
Resource
A 2-page fact sheet from the Government of the Northwest Territories explaining the use of radio collars on caribou. Related herds: Beverly and Qamanirjuaq , Bathurst, Bluenose West, Bluenose East...
Satellite Determination of Peatland Water Table Temporal Dynamics by Localizing Representative Pixels of A SWIR-Based Moisture Index
Resource
The OPtical TRApezoid Model (OPTRAM) is a physically-based approach for remote soil moisture estimation. OPTRAM is based on the response of short-wave infrared (SWIR) reflectance to vegetation water...

Organization:
This project is a part of the Government of Canada’s initiative for monitoring and assessing regional cumulative effects, a recently added requirement to the new Impact Assessment Act (2019). Among...
Satellite-detected Decreases in Caribou Lichen Cover, Cladonia (Cladina) spp., Over Eastern Canada During the Last Three Decades
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...
Save Our Species: A Blueprint for Restoring Butternut (Juglans cinerea) across Eastern North America
Resource
Butternut is a relatively uncommon hardwood tree native to eastern North America. The species’ abundance has declined over the past 50 years, primarily because of an invasive pathogen ( Ophiognomonia...
Saving Endangered Species Using Adaptive Management
Resource
Adaptive management is a powerful means of learning about complex ecosystems, but is rarely used for recovering endangered species. Here, we demonstrate how it can benefit woodland caribou, which...
Scaling Up the Role of Predation in Caribou Declines in West-Central Alberta (Redwillow, Narraway, Redrock Prairie Creek, A la Pêche and Little Smoky Ranges)
Resource
Anthropogenic disturbances contribute to the way animals perceive and respond to their environment. These multiple disturbances can additionally act in non-independent ways to shape an animal’s...
Scaling Up the Role of Predation in Caribou Declines in West-Central Alberta (Redwillow, Narraway, Redrock Prairie Creek, A la Pêche and Little Smoky Ranges). 2012 AUPRF project status update
Resource
Avoidance by caribou and increased wolf predation risk in disturbed areas indicate functional habitat loss for caribou, yet these patterns alone do not necessarily imply a demographic impact. Spatial...
Scaling Up the Role of Predation in Caribou Declines in West‐Central Alberta (Redwillow, Narraway, Redrock Prairie Creek, A la Pêche and Little Smoky Ranges). Interim Report
Resource
Our primary goal is to address the relative contributions of forestry and oil and gas production to the decline of caribou populations. This knowledge can then be used to develop appropriate...
Science and Indigenous Knowledge to Predict Changes in Caribou Habitat
Project
Organization:
To provide essential knowledge for improving woodland caribou recovery plans, the Canadian Forest Service initiated an integrative research project in collaboration with the Pessamit Innu community...
Science to Inform Policy: Linking Population Dynamics to Habitat for a Threatened Species in Canada
Resource
Examination of the effects of human disturbances and fire on variation in boreal caribou recruitment and adult female survival, using data from 58 study areas across Canada.
Science-based Responsible Resource Development: Lessons Learned From Two Canadian Success Stories
Resource
Most of Canada’s natural resource development (i.e., forestry, oil and gas, and mining activities) occurs in the boreal forest. These industrial activities lead to extensive land disturbances that...
Science-informed Policy Decisions Lead to the Creation of a Protected Area for a Wide-ranging Species at Risk
Resource
Protected areas are needed to conserve nature and biodiversity worldwide. The province of Québec (Canada) recently established a large wilderness area affording significant habitat protection for...
Scientific Assessment to Inform the Identification of Critical Habitat for Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), Boreal Population, in Canada - 2011 Update
Resource
The Woodland Caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou), Boreal Population was last assessed by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada as Threatened (COSEWIC 2002), and listed under...
Scientists Assess Paths Towards Maintaining BC Caribou Until Habitat Recovers
News
Organization
Thanks to drastic and evidence-based solutions, more southern mountain caribou roam Western Canada today than in previous decades; however, herd numbers are too fragile to sustain themselves without...
