Ontario Environmental Commissioner is a caribou fan
Dec 04, 2007
Looks like Ontario's Environmental Commissioner feels the same way about Woodland caribou as we do. According to the Canadian Press, Gordon Miller gave 'bou a shoutout during a recent conference on road sprawl in Ontario's north:
"If the threats to woodland caribou are not addressed systematically and in a concerted manner, this species could soon disappear from Ontario's boreal forests forever."
Ontario has the best caribou protection legislation in the country -- but only about 8% of their habitat is protected. We can do better, and it's great to hear that Mr. Miller agrees.
