Featured Projects: The Omineca Northern Caribou ProjectA collaborative research initiative led by licensees in the forest sector and by the Ministry of Environment was the beginning of a long-term project in north-central BC locally known as the Omineca Northern Caribou Project (ONCP). The goal of this collaboration was to examine the ecological interactions among caribou, moose, and wolves in the Wolverine, Chase, and Scott caribou herds. Specific outcomes were intended to:
Some members of this original collaboration eventually partnered in 2002 to form what is now Wildlife Infometrics Inc. (WII). Although WII has broadened their research basis, the ONCP remains of focal interest and importance for WII, the forest licensees in the area, and Ministry of Environment.
