Caribou and You | 'Bou Blog

Quebec bou: 1, NWT bou: 0

Mar 27, 2009

A huge study of Quebec's caribou is underway, thanks to $1.7 million dollars from the provincial and federal governments. The study will focus on the barren-ground (migratory) 'bou in far northern Quebec, not us Boreal woodland caribou.

Quebec's barren-ground caribou seem to be in fairly good shape so far. But over in the western arctic, the news is bleak. Herds of both Barren-ground and Peary (cute little arctic critters) caribou have plummeted over the past few decades.

Is it natural cycles, hunting, development, climate change or all of the above? I hope the Quebec study will shed some light on what's impacting the herds.
