Moose Resource Reports

Moose Resource Reports have been prepared to provide information to the public on the status and health of moose populations in Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) across Ontario. The reports also contain basic information on moose policy and management, with WMU-specific habitat assessment, trends in moose hunters, tag quotas and licenced harvests.

Cervid Ecological Zone (CEZ) Map

Moose and other cervid species in Ontario (i.e., white-tailed deer, American elk and caribou) are managed in relation to each other according to landscape-based policy found in the Cervid Ecological Framework (PDF, 523 kb). The map and key below show Ontario's CEZs and general moose population objectives for each area.

To find the moose resource report for the area(s) you are interested in please refer to the lists of Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) below. If you are unsure of the number of the WMU you are looking for go to the more detailed maps to help you find your area of interest.  Each moose resource report is about 500 - 600 kb in size.
  

Ontario's Cervid Ecological Zones

Woodland caribou, with low densities of moose and white-tailed deer, live in this zone. For both moose and white-tailed deer the goal is to maintain low densities through population and habitat management.  View a more detailed map of Cervid Ecological Zone A.
