Itcha Ilgachuz Northern Caribou Population Estimate: June 2012 Survey  2012  This report presents a population estimate for the Itcha-Ilgachuz northern caribou population of west-central British Columbia. The estimate is based on data collected during an aerial survey conducted in June 2012.  wsi_5955_rpt_2012.pdf (138 KB)
Review of the 2012 Itcha Ilgachuz Northern Caribou Population Estimate  2014  In response to inquiries regarding the Itcha-Ilgachuz caribou population status, I reviewed the survey estimates and population estimate put forth by Wilson (2012). In doing so, some discrepancies in the methods reportedly used to calculate the estimates came to light. The following text is the documentation associated with deciphering how the survey estimates, population estimate and associated confidence intervals were calculated. This exercise was intended to provide consistency in calculating and reporting survey and population estimates for both the 2012 and 2014 caribou population surveys.  wsi_5955_rpt_2012Review.pdf (712 KB)
