Dynamique des populations de caribou migrateur au

Population Dynamics of Migratory Caribou in
Nunavik/Nunatsiavut
Summary
Project Leader
Côté, Steeve
Migratory caribou are central to the economy and traditional life of northern peoples. They are also economically
important for a major outfitting industry, much of it involving Aboriginals. Scientific and Aboriginal Traditional
Knowledge, however, indicate that populations of migratory caribou undergo drastic changes over several decades.
Caribou herds are declining almost everywhere in Canada, and the factors responsible for those declines are still
poorly known. Caribou also face the impact of expanding resource-extraction industries, and threats to their habitat
will continue to increase with the development of the North, and from climate change. Through the cooperation of
government agencies, Aboriginal groups and industry partners we are combining existing long-term data,
population genetics studies, monitoring caribou and their predators with satellite collars, satellite-derived
information on plant productivity and small-scale climate and browsing manipulations to establish how climate and
population density affect the food resources of caribou, their habitat use, choice of calving site, body growth and
condition, recruitment, predation and age-specific survival. These are the most important factors currently thought
to affect caribou abundance and distribution in the Arctic. We are also addressing the effects of industrial activities
on caribou ecology and quantifying the impact of caribou on vegetation in key seasonal ranges. In addition to
identifying the factors responsible for changes in population size and distribution, our work will provide managers
and Aboriginal Peoples with new tools to monitor the demography of caribou and therefore improve their
conservation in the face of climate change.
