PROTECTING BEVERLY AND QAMANIRJUAQ CARIBOU
AND CARIBOU RANGE

Part 2: Map Atlas and Documentation

This section of the CD-ROM contains maps and other information about range use by the Beverly and Qamanirjuaq caribou herds.

A. Map Atlas:

The map atlas contains more than 75 colour maps showing distribution and range use patterns of Beverly and Qamanirjuaq caribou during each life cycle period.

These maps are based primarily on information obtained during government surveys (1940 - 1995), and by monitoring movements of caribou using satellite collars (1993-1997). 

Note: The maps in the atlas are based on the same information as the maps in the report (Part 1). The map atlas, however, contains colour maps that provide more detailed and accurate information than the generalized black-and-white maps that were published in the report.

B. Documentation (Information About Data sources):

Information about the hundreds of data files used to produce the maps (such as data sources, details of surveys and relative density of caribou observed), and the limitations of available data are provided in the documentation section of this CD.
