Grizzly Bears and Wildlife/Human Conflicts, Submission to the Wildlife Technical Session, BHP Diamond Mine Environmental Assessment Panel (GNWT, February 1996)
~1996Regulatory Filing
Approximate date — inferred from filename
Government of the Northwest Territories submission to the BHP Diamond Mine Environmental Assessment Panel addressing grizzly bear ecology, impacts, mitigation and monitoring, and wildlife-human conflict prevention strategies. The document evaluates potential impacts of the proposed NWT Diamonds Project on barren-ground grizzly bears and recommends comprehensive mitigation, monitoring, and management measures including electric fencing, education programs, trained wildlife monitors, and cumulative effects modeling.

Eskers, Carnivores and Dens 1995 Baseline Study Update (BHP Billiton, December 1995)
1 December 1995Report
This 1995 baseline study documents eskers, carnivore distributions, and grizzly bear habitat use in the Lac de Gras area for the NWT Diamonds Project. Twenty-three grizzly bears were radio-collared to track movements and habitat preferences, while ground surveys identified 75 carnivore dens across major eskers and assessed food habits and ecosystem use.

Eskers, Carnivores and Grizzly Bears, 1995 Baseline Study Update (BHP Billiton, December 1995)
1 December 1995Report
This 1995 baseline study documents eskers, carnivores (foxes, wolves, wolverines), and grizzly bears in the Lac de Gras area of the NWT Diamonds Project. The report presents results from extensive field surveys including 75 total carnivore dens located, 23 collared grizzly bears tracked to determine habitat use and movement patterns, and analysis of carnivore food habits and important denning habitats for wildlife management and impact assessment.

Ecological Mapping 1995 Baseline Study Update, NWT Diamonds Project, Lac de Gras (BHP Billiton, December 1995)
1 December 1995Report
BHP Diamonds Inc. conducted a 1995 baseline ecological mapping study of the 190,000-hectare NWT Diamonds Project area near Lac de Gras, classifying 11 tundra ecosystem types and assessing their sensitivity to development impacts. The report provides integrated terrain and vegetation maps, wildlife habitat capability assessments for geese, caribou and grizzly bears, and evaluations of ecosystem vulnerability to vehicular traffic and air quality impacts.
Monitoring Habitat Assessment Caribou
