Cumulative Effects of Habitat Change and Backcountry Recreation on Mountain Caribou in the Central Selkirk Mountains	2003	Report (Wilson & Hamilton): This project focused on integrating information related to caribou habitat and habitat use with available information on human access and disturbance during the critical early and late-winter seasons. The goal of the project was to identify areas within the range of the Central Selkirk mountain caribou subpopulation where coincident land uses might be affecting caribou interactively, and where the highest-priority conservation efforts should be directed. Examining the effects of a number of factors on the habitat-use characteristics of mountain caribou constitutes a "cumulative effects analysis." Spatial analysis using geographic information systems (GIS) and modelling were used to: 1. Investigate recent changes to caribou habitat caused by industrial forestry. 2. Investigate the spatial relationship between backcountry recreation and caribou habitat use. Model the simultaneous effects of habitat and commercial heli-skiing activities on caribou habitat use in the Central Selkirks. 4. Provide management recommendations to integrate land uses in mountain caribou habitat. The project was based on caribou location data collected during 1992-2002 during inventory projects related to the Central Selkirk mountain caribou subpopulation (Hamilton et al. 2001, Hamilton and Wilson 2002). Changes in high-suitability caribou habitat were examined by estimating the stand stage of forest cover polygons in 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990 and 2000 from forest inventory databases from the Arrow and Kootenay Lake Forest Districts.	wsi_5585_rpt_2003CumulativeEffects.pdf (910 KB)
