Caribou - Hunting
Caribou - Conservation Efforts
Humans have made a great negative impact on the Caribou species. These animals have been heavily hunted. Caribou have been extinct in most parts of Europe since the 1600s. One of the major drastic impacts on their population is exploration for oil and minerals in Canada. However, domestic herds of reindeer flourish in the Old World, in Canada, in Alaska, and in 48 states of the United States. Caribou - Geographic RangeHaving a nearly circumpolar distribution, some subspecies of Caribou can be found as far south as 46 north latitude, while other subspecies occur as far north as 80 north latitude. Caribou inhabit arctic tundra and subarctic forest regions. Most animals stay in forests year-round. The Mountain Caribou migrates over 80 km between their forested foothills in winter and alpine area in summer.Caribou - ManagementConservation efforts should be introduced in cooperation with governments and in partnership with communities living close to the problem regions. Small and isolated woodland Caribou populations require a more specific conservation strategy. Participative management is vital in regions where native groups still hunt for Caribou as a major source of their living.Caribou - Conservation LinksInternational Mountain Caribou Technical Committee - This is an international, multi-agency group of researchers, biologists, resource managers, industry representatives, and other concerned people interested in recovering the endangered mountain woodland Caribou.
