Abstract
Since the spring of 2018, WCS Canada has engaged with the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MECP) and Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry (NDMNEF) and the forestry industry on habitat management associated with wolverine den sites1 we have found over the course of our wolverine GPS collaring project in Red Lake, Ontario. A number of questions have repeatedly come up through these discussions about how our growing knowledge of wolverine denning ecology can inform current government policies. This document contains our responses to these frequently asked ques-tions (FAQ) accompanied by recommendations. We intend for these comments to inform future den site management plans (DSMP), revisions to the “Forest Management Guide for Conserving Biodiversity at the Stand and Site Scales” (SSG), and the “Boreal Landscape Guide”.
