Study investigates a die-off of 50 Arctic Barren Ground caribous on Prince Charles Island (Nunavut, Canada), in the summer of 2016, using passive microwave observations.
Biodiversity Offsets and Caribou Conservation in Alberta: Opportunities and Challenges
Resource
We conclude that a number of actions to offset impacts of development and achieve no net loss or net positive impact for caribou are theoretically feasible (i.e., if implemented they should work), including habitat restoration and manipulations of the large mammal predator-prey system. However, implementation challenges are substantial and include a lack of mechanisms for setting aside some resources for long periods of time, public opposition to predator control, and uncertainty associated with loss-gain calculations.
Birth Date Determines Early Calf Survival in Migratory Caribou
