Alberta gets coal in its stocking for reindeer, er, caribou protection

Dec 18, 2008

Have you seen this great news video on Woodland caribou in Alberta?  A reporter from National Geographic spoke with Helene Walsh, a biologist with CPAWS,  about the need to protect the 'bous' Boreal forest habitat.

Alberta is so far down with protecting caribou, but they're going about it a very unsustainable way -- by shooting wolves.  That just isn't a long term solution, says Helene.

You can watch the video at National Geographic's site.
