| Summary | Three tasks were completed to initiate monitoring of vegetation communities and tǫdzı (boreal caribou) use after wildfires. First, a summary of information relating to the indigenous perspective of Boreal woodland caribou and their habitat use was undertaken. Second, sites were selected for monitoring using Tłı̨chǫ techniques and methods. Third, vegetation communities, as well as summer fauna and human use, were documented. |
| Local Relevance | Wildfires may be becoming more prevalent in the NWT due to climate change, so it is important to understand the impacts in the NWT, such as how tǫdzı (boreal caribou) are affected. |
| Notes | This bulletin is part of the Cumulative Impact Monitoring Program's NWT Environmental Research Bulletin series - Volume 1, Issue 4. |
