Abstract | Specific objectives addressed in this report are: 1) Identify and describe existing habitat and population predictive modelling tools for evaluating the response of the Priority #1 and Priority #2 wildlife and fish indicators to natural and human-caused environmental chagne at the regional and management unit scales; 2) Complete a preliminary evaluation of the advantages, disadvantages, data requirements, research requirements, and costs to implement various modeling approaches at the regional and management unit scale; 3) Consider the feasibility of incorporating traditional knowledge into the models, considering the type of data and when it would be available; and 4) Present findings and prepare final reports documenting the results of the evaluation, and recommend appropriate modelling tools and an approach to model testing and implementation. |
