TECHNICAL REPORT: WOLF (DÌGA) MANAGEMENT PROGRAM JANUARY – JUNE 2022

The goal of the five-year dìga management program is to sufficiently reduce dìga predation on the Bathurst and Bluenose-East herds to allow for an increase in calf and adult caribou (ekwǫ̀) survival rates to contribute to the stabilization and recovery of both herds. This report summarizes dìga management and monitoring activities undertaken by GNWT and TG during winter 2022. It provides an update to the previous reports on dìga management activities in Wekʼèezhìı during winters 2020 and 2021, and is intended to fulfill the WRRB’s recommendation (#20-2020) that an “annual report be prepared by GNWT and TG and presented to the Board at a scheduled board meeting to allow for the discussion of adjustments in methodology based on the evidence, beginning fall 2021”.
