2022 Central Selkirk Caribou Maternity Pen Project Report: Use of Maternal Penning to Increase the Population Growth Rate in the Central Selkirk	2024	The Central Selkirk Caribou Maternity Pen operated for the first time in 2022. The goals of the maternity pen are to increase calf recruitment and maintain or increase adult female survival for the Central Selkirk herd of Southern Mountain Caribou. Seven adult females and one 10-month-old female calf were captured and placed in the pen in March 2022. Six calves, three males and three females, were born in the pen. There was one cow mortality during penning due to metritis and mastitis secondary to dystocia with a dead malpositioned calf. The adult females and their calves were successfully released from the pen when the calves were at least six weeks old in July 2022. There was one calf mortality due to predation shortly after release. The rest of the calves survived to the age of recruitment, resulting in a calf recruitment rate of 24% and calf:cow ratio of 66:100. Due to the penned cow mortality and two cow mortalities in the wild, annual female survival dropped from 1.00 to 0.68. The maternity pen will continue operations in the coming years with the goal of achieving a stable or increasing caribou population in the Central Selkirk herd range.	wsi_5585_rpt_2022.pdf (3.4 MB)
