2018 Mountain Caribou Census - Central Selkirk Mountains	2018	Census report (Reid & DeGroot, 2018): A complete aerial census survey of the Central Selkirks subpopulation was conducted in March 2018. Survey conditions were favorable with significant snowfall (~50 cm) occurring one week prior. A total of 31 caribou were observed, 4 of which were calves (12.9%). All collared caribou (n=8) were observed during the survey. High levels of commercial heli-ski activity were observed within the core habitat area. Snowmobile use was also widespread across the range. In addition to disturbance from recreation, two cougar predation events on collared caribou have been documented since March 2017.	wsi_5888_rpt_2018.pdf (913 KB)
2019 Mountain Caribou Census - Central Selkirk Mountains	2019	Census report (Reid, 2019): A complete aerial census survey of the Central Selkirks subpopulation was conducted in March 2019. Survey conditions were favorable with significant snowfall occurring 4 days prior. A total of 24 caribou were observed, 1 of which was a calf (4%). All collared caribou (n=5) were observed during the survey. Low recruitment is likely related to predation but may also be impacted by backcountry recreation.	wsi_5888_rpt_2019.pdf (616 KB)
