Wildlife Effects Monitoring Program (WEMP), Ekati Diamond Mine (BHP Billiton, January 2001)
1 January 2001Report
The 2000 Wildlife Effects Monitoring Program report documents environmental effects monitoring at the BHP Ekati Diamond Mine in the Northwest Territories, examining impacts on valued ecosystem components including caribou, grizzly bears, wolves, wolverines, upland breeding birds, loons, and raptors across a 1,600 km² study area. Results indicate that current mining disturbance levels have had no measurable negative effects on most wildlife populations, though some mitigation improvements are recommended for waste management and traffic safety.

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.
