COSEWIC assessment and status report on the Peary caribou, Rangifer tarandus pearyi, in Canada .: CW69-14/191-2016E-PDF

"This report incorporates information that became available after the last COSEWIC Status Update (COSEWIC 2004) for Peary Caribou Rangifer tarandus pearyi. Since the last assessment, surveys have been conducted in all four Peary Caribou subpopulation ranges to provide updated information on abundance and trends. Other significant contributions to this update include: an assessment of the conservation status of Peary Caribou (SARC 2012), including Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge, undertaken by the Government of Northwest Territories; and updates from traditional ecological knowledge on caribou collected and summarized from Aboriginal sources by the COSEWIC Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge (ATK) Subcommittee. In 2011, Peary Caribou was listed under SARA as Endangered, following the results of the last COSEWIC assessment in 2004. Environment Canada is in the process of developing a recovery strategy for Peary Caribou (Environment Canada, in prep.). This report has benefited from ATK (including Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit [IQ; Inuit traditional knowledge]), compilation of population data, various maps, and additional scientific information gathered through this process”--Preface (p. xi).
