Caribou in Northern British Columbia: An Assessment of Range Condition and Population Status - Appendix 3: Range Summaries

A critical decline in woodland caribou populations, particularly within the Nahanni National Park region of Northern British Columbia, has been identified. This study reveals that habitat fragmentation and degradation pose significant threats to these species, with population status showing concerning trends. The research employs comprehensive field studies to assess range conditions and population dynamics, utilizing data from long-term monitoring efforts. It emphasizes the need for collaborative conservation strategies involving Indigenous communities, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders to address these challenges effectively. The findings underscore the importance of integrated landscape management in mitigating threats to vulnerable species and ecosystems.
