Wildlife Effects Monitoring Program (WEMP) Summary Report, Ekati Diamond Mine (BHP Billiton, May 2007)
31 May 2007Report
The 2006 Wildlife Effects Monitoring Program (WEMP) Summary Report documents BHP Billiton's tenth annual wildlife monitoring study at Ekati Diamond Mine from October 2005 to October 2006, assessing impacts on caribou, grizzly bears, wolves, wolverines, breeding birds, and falcons through aerial surveys, field observations, and habitat analysis. The report finds that while 28 hectares of habitat were disturbed in 2006, mine activities show mixed effects on wildlife, with caribou showing some avoidance during post-calving migration, nine non-vehicle wildlife mortalities recorded, and improved mitigation practices reducing vehicle collisions with wildlife.

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.
