Abstract:

The Kootenay Pass region of southeastern British Columbia represents a vital segment of habitat for mountain caribou inhabiting the Selkirk Mountains. Existing and proposed developments there, including a major highway, power transmission lines, a natural gas pipeline and extensive logging, have reduced available habitat, modified caribou movements and intensified man-caused harassment and mortality. Continuing human ____ jeopardizes the future existence of mountain caribou in the Kootenay Pass region.
