Recovery actions for woodland caribou: Predicting and testing the efficacy of habitat restoration
Anthropogenic habitat alteration via land conversion directly reduces habitat availability and disrupts ecological processes. Western Canada’s boreal forest has undergone rapid landscape change as a...
Testing the efficacy of linear restoration for caribou recovery in the Birch Mountains, Alberta: Partnering for restoration success
Effective restoration and monitoring of biodiversity on working landscapes requires sustained efforts from multiple sectors, stakeholders and rights holders. Importantly, such efforts are not legal,...
Forecasting climate-sensitive landscape change reveals habitat shifts and population uncertainty for northern boreal caribou
Climate-induced northern forest change may be severe, altering resources for boreal caribou. Mitigating the conservation challenges associated with caribou could be dampened through forecasts of...
Testing operational innovations to maximize linear restoration outcomes: A field study in NE Alberta
Restoration of linear features is gaining significant momentum in the context of caribou conservation, and there is significant focus on this topic within the academic...
Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation and Mikisew Cree First Nation Tâdzié/Atihk Stewardship Plan
For generations, the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN) and Mikisew Cree First Nation (MCFN) have stewarded the lands and waters of their territories in northeastern...
Linking woodland caribou abundance to forestry disturbance in southern British Columbia, Canada
The decline of many woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) populations is thought to be linked with habitat disturbances resulting from industrial development, including timber harvesting...
Collaborative research and monitoring of migratory Eastern Cape Chruchill caribou: Linking Wapusk National Park and an Indigenous Conservation Protected Area
The Cape Churchill caribou herd, part of the Eastern Migratory caribou population, resides along the western coast of Hudson Bay and has been largely unstudied....
Habitat restoration: Why Indigenous partnerships matter
Input from Indigenous communities into restoration programs is critical, yet such input is often sought after planning is complete. In contrast, we present a case...
