Central Selkirk Caribou Project - Annual Report
|
1997
|
Annual Report (Nanuq Consulting, 1997): A population census was conducted in April 1997. The search area was divided into two distinct survey units: Silvercup and Nakusp. The census areas were flown over a period of two days following a snowfall. 222 caribou were observed during the 1997 census including 22 of 23 collared animals. Results of the 1996 census are included in the discussion section of this report (note: some data listed in the report has been updated - refer to SPI data for specific results).

Central Selkirks Caribou, Historic to Present Times: Apparent Trends and Emerging Priorities
|
1997
|
Annual report appendix (Herbison, 1997): A review of historic information, early caribou studies, and telemetry information, this report indicates the most marked caribou population declines in the Central Selkirks were concentrated in the early 1900s and the late 1960s/early 1970s. In both periods, the declines were attributable to multiple, interrelated factors which included large-scale habitat loss and direct mortality from hunting and poaching. In the ranges that were still occupied by caribou in the mid-1970's, it appears that caribou may have maintained a consistent or recurring presence into the 1990's. Today's population of approximately 250 caribou is evidently composed of small groups, between which there appears to be frequent exchange of individuals. Present information indicates that caribou use a complexity of elevations and habitats within core habitat areas, often ranging widely between elevations within a given season.

Population Census and Telemetry Monitoring for the Central Selkirk Caribou inventory Project 2002
|
2002
|
Census report: (Hamilton & Wilson, 2002): An aerial census survey of the Central Selkirks subpopulation was conducted in March 2002. The study area was stratified into Nakusp and Duncan census blocks. Flight paths were similar to those used in previous years. A total of 93 caribou, including 16 calves, were observed over two days of flights. 6 of 9 radio-collared caribou were sighted. A population estimate is provided in the report but has since been updated (refer to SPI data for specific results).
