Issued also in French under title: Évaluation et rapport de situation du COSEPAC sur le caribou, population Dolphin-et-Union, Rangifer tarandus, au Canada. Includes bibliographic references: p.32-43. "The population is experiencing multiple threats, including reduced connectivity and disrupted migration between winter and summer range associated with commercial shipping in Dease Strait that is increasingly supported by ice-breakers. Climate change is linked with decreased periods of ice cover and irregularity of sea ice conditions, causing mortality through drowning and delays in migration with consequences for nutrition and parasite burdens. Overharvest has been involved in past declines and recent exploitation levels are unknown, although access opportunities from five additional communities have increased. The spread of insect pests and pathogens as a consequence of climate change is an additional concern. Natural fluctuations of the population remain a source of uncertainty"--Assessment Summary, p. iii. gccst Endangered species gccst Mammals gccst Assessment Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada.
