| Summary | Human-caused disturbances, such as mining, roads and forestry affect boreal caribou habitats and populations. Our study used a computer-modelling tool (SpaDES) to develop a simulation model to forecast these disturbances and potential impacts to boreal caribou population growth. We found that with continued low levels of current human disturbance, the boreal caribou population growth or declines show only minor changes between now and 2041. This study highlights the value of integrated approaches and forecasting to assist in informed caribou range planning. |
