Recovery strategy for the wolverine (Gulo gulo), eastern population, in Canada .: En3-4/230-2016E-PDF

There are unknowns regarding the feasibility of recovery of the Wolverine, Eastern population. In keeping with the precautionary principle, a recovery strategy has been prepared as per section 41(1) of SARA as would be done when recovery is determined to be feasible. The short-term population and distribution objectives consist of determining if individuals of the Wolverine, Eastern population, still persist in Quebec and Labrador and to establish to what degree, if any, a rescue effect from dispersing individuals of the Western population in Ontario may assist in the recovery of the species. The long-term objectives should aim at having naturally-established, self-sustaining populations of this species while keeping interactions with trapping activities for other species to a minimum. To reach these objectives, a sustained dialogue with Aboriginal northern communities is essential to work towards finding a path forward that is scientifically sound and socially acceptable to the affected parties. General strategies to mitigate threats to the species’ survival and recovery are presented in the section on Strategic Direction for Recovery.
