Abstract

A minimum of 1,200 moose, approximately 10% of the provincial annual allowable harvest, may die on the highways and railways in British Columbia each year. The impact of collision on moose population dynamics is unknown. Research of moose behaviour in moose-vehicle and moose-train encounters is recommended to more fully understand the collision problem, the demographic implications of collision losses, and to enable the discovery of solution(s) to this management problem.
