Agreement Value:
$10,000.00
Agreement Date:
Apr 1, 2025 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
This project will investigate how climate-driven increases in moose populations are influencing wolf ecology and potentially increasing predation pressure on the Porcupine Caribou Herd. Using field data, GPS tracking, and comparisons with historical records, it will examine changes in wolf pack size, diet, movement, and prey relationships in a rapidly changing Arctic ecosystem. This research aims to assess risks to caribou populations and support informed wildlife management and community stewardship.
