caribou habitat

Fresh research suggests western Canada's once-dwindling caribou numbers are finally growing.

A British Columbia company that wants to avoid logging sections of at-risk old growth was told by the Crown corporation that manages B.C.'s public forests to cut the trees down or pay to leave them standing, its chief forester said.

An innovative collaboration between two First Nations in B.C. protects the most vulnerable animals.

The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society and the Alberta Wilderness Association said Thursday that government maps show West Fraser Timber has been directed to clear-cut blocks that contain century-old trees next to a park in northwest Alberta. 

It was a hunch Jonah Keim hoped to prove — that using human-made obstacles, such as trees and logs, could reduce encounters between endangered caribou and wolves in northern British Columbia.

Environmentalists and scientists are calling on Parks Canada to further restrict access to Rocky Mountain backcountry in an effort to help save the last large caribou herd in the national parks.

A new study done in northeastern Alberta suggests habitat restoration may not be enough to save threatened woodland caribou, at least in the short term, and researchers at the University of British Columbia say their results make the case for a more rigorous analysis of conservation methods.

The British Columbia government announced an interim moratorium on resource development in parts of the south Peace region on Thursday, June 20, 2019, giving itself more time to sign a long-term strategy to protect dwindling caribou populations.

An agreement has been reached between the federal, provincial and two First Nations to offer temporary protection to the central caribou population in British Columbia while a long-term plan is developed.

An Environment Canada report says that despite much talk on preserving caribou habitat, little progress has been made to close gaps in the protection of the threatened species.

A caribou researcher says Alberta's decision to suspend portions of its draft plan to help the threatened animals recover is the first major test of the federal Species at Risk Act.
