Description: The original Peary caribou range was derived from the COSEWIC status report then edited to incoporate comments from John Nagy (ENR), and Debbie Jenkins (Gov of NU Peary Caribou biologist); it was updated in 2008. The range was reviewed in 2012 but no changes were made at that time.In 2022, the range was updated by GNWT ENR (Nick Wilson and Joanna Wilson) to match spatial data provided by Canadian Wildlife Service (Isabelle Duclos) reflecting the Peary caribou range depicted in the Recovery Strategy for the Peary Caribou in Canada (ECCC 2022, available from sararegistry.gc.ca), which includes King William Island. The range matches the 'core range' depicted in ECCC 2022 and does not include 'areas outside the core range'.The previous range shapefile used by GNWT ENR had glaciated areas in the high arctic of Nunavut clipped out but the new range from ECCC does not. In October 2022, Nick Wilson and Joanna Wilson (GNWT ENR) added polygons obtained from Canadian Wildlife Service indicating the Area Containing Critical Habitat in the NWT, as defined in the Recovery Strategy for the Peary Caribou in Canada (ECCC 2022, available from sararegistry.gc.ca). Sea ice crossings are identified as critical habitat for Peary caribou. This feature showsthe areas within which critical habitat for Peary caribou occur in the NWT. Critical habitat as defined by the Species at Risk Act occurs within these polygons where the criteria for biophysical attributes are met, as laid out in the recovery strategy. For example: "Sea ice is an essential component of Peary Caribou habitat as corridors for annual movements between islands. This habitat is seasonal and exists from when it starts forming in the fall until ice breakup in the following spring or summer. To account for this temporal feature and to protect the formation of ice from shipping and ice-breaking, all the sea ice habitat identified [in recovery strategy maps] is to be considered as critical habitat."
