As of march 2009, CARMA has develop two manuals with associated protocols to allow researchers and managers to monitor their herds and be able to compare their results with monitoring data from other herds. The body condiiton manual explains the important indicators to collect when handling  a cairovu or reindeer while the demographic manual outlines the standard methods of monitoring populations and how to report the findings in a consistent statistical manner.

In this next year we will be adding a Habitat manual.
