(CBFA Cross Reference: Goal 3, Section 7(c)) Initial priorities (Phase 1 herds) are identified as follows: a) West Central Alberta b) Northeast Alberta c) Northeastern Ontario d) Lac St. ▇▇▇▇ Region e) Caribou Forest (Ontario) Phase 2 herds will be identified by October, 2010, Phase 3 herds will be identified April 2011, and (as noted in Goal 3, Section 14) the parties will meet September 30, 2011 to determine the status of caribou recovery planning at that time. a) Intersection of herds/ranges from the Environment Canada science report and herds/ranges on eastern slopes of Rockies, the Mackenzie Forest District BC, the Island of Newfoundland and the Gaspésie herd; b) Constituents (members and chapters) to provide input and signoff on herd/range priorities. c) Prioritization should consider the probability of persistence (i.e., the likelihood that the herd will persist into the long term) as assigned by Environment Canada, or other studies. Where there is no measure of probability of persistence, information on population size and trend must be considered; d) The amount of proposed timber harvest and road building during the course of the CBFA (e.g., the higher the degree of proposed activity the higher the priority). Where possible other industrial disturbances should be considered as well; e) The more area of the range in existing protected areas the lower the priority. f) If ENGO/industry solutions are imminent these areas should be a higher priority (i.e., continue to move work that is already ongoing); g) Degree of data set availability (e.g., caribou telemetry data, range definitions, forestry information) should be considered; h) Public policy regarding caribou protection and management, and protected areas should be considered; i) Consider audit results from government or SFM systems that may suggest additional work is required on caribou habitat or management.; and j) Wherever possible having others (e.g., government, aboriginal communities, other industries) engaged is beneficial, especially where established relationships and stakeholder support exist.
