We present a proposed research and adaptive management plan to study the effects of heli-recreation activities on Mountain Goat populations in southeastern B.C. The plan is based on a review of scientific and wildlife management literature, a review of management guidelines in other jurisdictions, discussions with wildlife professionals, three visits to heli-recreation tenure areas (and discussions with staff), and a reconnaissance-level survey of Mountain Goats. We found few studies that specifically examined the effects of disturbance on Mountain Goats, although many studies have examined the responses of other Caprinae. Drawing general conclusions about the expected responses of Mountain Goats to heli-recreation activities based on the available literature is difficult because of the variety of methodologies used to study disturbance effects, the large number of variables that influence responses, and variation in response among Caprinae species, populations, and individuals. In general, studies have concl
