Management Plan for the Bathurst Caribou Herd (Bathurst Caribou Management Planning Committee, November 2004)
A comprehensive management plan for the Bathurst caribou herd developed by the Bathurst Caribou Management Planning Committee, recommending coordinated monitoring and management actions across federal, territorial, and Aboriginal governments to ensure the herd's long-term health and sustainability while managing human activities and harvesting pressure. The plan addresses herd population monitoring, harvest management, habitat protection, and inter-jurisdictional cooperation across the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
