Overview
The woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) is a species at risk in Alberta, currently listed as Threatened under Alberta’s Wildlife Act and Canada’s Species at Risk Act. Protection of this native species requires an ongoing effort to mitigate risk factors such as loss of habitat and increased pressure on caribou populations due to human land-use activities.
A key part of Alberta’s woodland caribou conservation strategy is to work with public and private sector partners to ensure the sustainability of caribou populations. Caribou recovery planning strives to maintain and improve caribou habitat while maintaining a working landscape that can support economic, recreational and traditional land uses.
In focus
Caribou sub-regional task forces are established to advise government on sub-regional planning, including caribou recovery actions.
