2014 Mountain Caribou Census - Central Selkirk Mountains	2014	Census report (DeGroot, 2014): A complete aerial census survey of the Central Selkirks subpopulation was conducted in March 2014. Since 2005, the Central Selkirks subpopulation was divided into the Nakusp and Duncan blocks. Due to consistent observations of caribou that were not located in either block, we are returning to the convention of using the term "Central Selkirks" without further division into blocks. Forty-two adult caribou and eight calves were located for a total of 50 caribou. In addition there was one occasion where tracks were spotted but caribou could not be located. These tracks should account for 3 caribou, resulting in a total estimate of 53.	wsi_5888_rpt_2014.pdf (1 MB)
2015 Mountain Caribou Census - Central Selkirk Mountains	2015	Census report (DeGroot, 2015): A complete aerial census survey of the Central Selkirks subpopulation was conducted between March 17 and April 2, 2015. Poor weather did not allow the census to be conducted during a three day continuous time span. Thirty-nine adult caribou and five calves (11.4%) were located for a total of 44 caribou.	wsi_5888_rpt_2015.pdf (830 KB)
2016 Mountain Caribou Census - Central Selkirk Mountains	2016	Census report (DeGroot, 2016): A complete aerial census survey of the Central Selkirks subpopulation was conducted in March 2016. Weather and light conditions were excellent for the duration of the census. Thirty-three adult caribou and two calves (5.7%) were located for a total of 35 caribou.	wsi_5888_rpt_2016.pdf (933 KB)
