Wildlife Effects Monitoring Program, Appendices, Ekati Diamond Mine (BHP Billiton, January 2001)
1 January 2001Report
This 2000 Wildlife Effects Monitoring Program report presents habitat suitability index (HSI) models and scientific hypothesis testing for caribou, grizzly bears, and other wildlife species at the Ekati Diamond Mine. The analysis documents habitat losses from incremental mine development (1997-2000) and assesses the efficacy of mitigation measures, finding that cumulative direct habitat loss was 0.4% of the study area by 2000.
