1. The Natural Resources Information Network (NRIN) is a collaborative initiative of the Forest Research Extension Partnership (FORREX) and other resource agencies in British Columbia. Its mandate is to improve access and distribution of natural resource information relating to British Columbia by building an online environment between natural resource agencies, decision-makers, and communities. You can view abstracts and source information for the Mountain Caribou Compendium (includes first 125 articles only) at NRIN. As well, you can search several other databases that contain reports on caribou.
2. Centre For Northern Forest Research -
Caribou Reference Database
http://blue.lakeheadu.ca:80/cld/
This is a citation
database of North American and Eurasian published and “grey” literature on
all aspects of caribou biology and ecology. An exhaustive search for all
journal papers, conference proceedings, M.Sc. and Ph.D. theses, government
reports, and other unpublished manuscripts concerning woodland caribou of
all ecotypes (forest-alpine, migratory forest-tundra, and migratory and
non-migratory forest-dwelling caribou) was made using multiple search
methods and bibliographic sources. Hosted by the Ontario Ministry of Natural

About the Mountain Caribou Compendium
The southern populations of woodland caribou, known locally as “mountain caribou,” are listed as a threatened species. Virtually all of the world’s 1800 mountain caribou live in southeastern British Columbia. The Mountain Caribou Compendium is an initiative to improve the accessibility of research results and other information related to the mountain caribou herds of southeastern British Columbia.
Supporting Agencies for the Mountain Caribou Compendium
In early 2003 the Revelstoke Forest Workers Society compiled a list of all research reports and other documents relevant to the management of the threatened local mountain caribou populations. The Columbia Mountains Institute of Applied Ecology became host for the project, with a commitment to maintain the collection of print materials and make the information available on the internet. Early financial support for the project came from the City of Revelstoke’s “Revelstoke Caribou Recovery Committee” and the Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation.
