Balancing Boreal Caribou conservation with forestry, mining, and tourism in Northwestern Ontario’s Brights and Churchill ranges requires integrated landscape-level planning that supports habitat recovery and regional development goals.
Balancing Boreal Caribou conservation with forestry, mining, and tourism in Northwestern Ontario’s Brights and Churchill ranges requires integrated landscape-level planning that supports habitat recovery and regional development goals.
Linear restoration – the process of encouraging vegetation regrowth on legacy disturbances such as seismic lines or access roads – is an important process in enhancing and increasing functional habitat for Species at Risk such as woodland caribou.
The North American Caribou Workshop (NACW) is held every two years, and this year’s virtual instalment featured participants from North America and Europe. Industry, researchers, Indigenous community representatives, resource managers, and decision-makers came together to discuss and share learnings, ideas, and the challenges of caribou conservation.
In recent years, there have been ongoing improvements in resource exploration techniques that have allowed for faster recovery of the impacted forest.
