Itcha-Ilgachuz Caribou Calf Recruitment - 2022	2022	The caribou in the Itcha-Ilgachuz subpopulation on the Chilcotin plateau are shallow snow, terrestrial lichen eating caribou, referred to as Designatable Unit 7 by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada and classified as a species of Special Concern (COSEWIC 2014). The Itcha-Ilgachuz caribou herd declined by 80% between 2003-2019 (Shores 2019). Given the rate of decline, it was estimated in 2019 that functional extirpation (<20 animals) was possible within the next 8 years, and wolf removal was initiated in 2020 as an emergency measure while habitat protection and restoration plans were initiated. The March 2022 recruitment survey was flown to estimate overwinter calf survival, which indicates survival of calves to reproductive age.	wsi_5955_rpt_2022.pdf (301 KB)
