Eff ects of Climate Change on the Canadian Arc c Wildlife

SummaryProject Leader(s)Berteaux, Dominique

Many northern ecosystems are undergoing major shi s related to climate change. An understanding of this transforma on and of the signifi cance of its consequences is cri cal to an cipa ng ways in which poten al nega ve and posi ve eff ects to wildlife popula ons (and ul mately humans) may be mi gated or used through sound management. Our overall goal is to provide the wildlife-related knowledge necessary to conduct the integrated regional impact studies of the “Eastern Arc c” and “Hudson Bay”, two of the four regions iden fi ed by Arc cNet to conduct regional impact studies. We work through 4 specifi c objec ves. First, we iden fy the main vulnerabili es of Arc c wildlife with regards to climate change. Second, we monitor more than 30 wildlife popula ons (mostly tundra wildlife and marine birds) at 6 main study sites located in the Eastern Canadian Arc c (from South to North: Belcher Islands, Rankin Inlet, Coats Island, East Bay-Southampton Island, Bylot Island, and St.Helena Island). Third, we use data from our own fi eld work and from the literature to analyze past and present responses of wildlife to clima c variability in order to develop Impact Models. Finally, we project some wildlife pa erns into the future by forcing these Impact Models with regional climate change scenarios. This project is a collabora on between Arc cNet researchers and a number of partners including the Canadian Wildlife Service (Environment Canada), Parks Canada Agency, Wildlife Conserva on Society Canada, Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., Nunavut Wildlife Management Board, Baffi nland Iron Mine, Department of Environment of Goverment of Nunavut, and many Northern communi es, especially members of their Hun ng and Trapping Organiza ons. Our project will help Arc cNet impact studies to provide decision makers in the wildlife sector with a sound basis for working at adapta on strategies in a changing climate.
