Wildlife Monitoring Plan, Draft, Ekati Diamond Mine (BHP Billiton, February 1998)
This is a draft wildlife monitoring plan for BHP Diamonds' Ekati Diamond Mine in the Northwest Territories, developed using a risk-based process to assess potential impacts on valued ecosystem components (caribou, grizzly bears, wolves, wolverines, upland breeding birds, loons, and raptors) and establish monitoring strategies and impact hypotheses for all phases of mine development from exploration through post-closure.
