Report on the progress of the recovery strategy implementation (period 2017-2022) and the action plan implementation (period 2018-2023) for caribou (Rangifer tarandus), boreal population, in Canada.: En3-4/140-1-2024E-PDF
"The boreal caribou is an icon of Canada's boreal forests and is culturally significant to Indigenous peoples and other Canadians. The boreal caribou relies on large areas of mature and old-growth coniferous forests and peatlands to access lichens and avoid predators. Human activity and wildfire have disturbed caribou habitat and created conditions favouring predators in many boreal caribou ranges, leading to significant population declines. To support recovery, the federal government finalized a Recovery Strategy in 2012 (amended in 2020) and an Action Plan in 2018. This report provides a summary of the progress made towards implementing the Recovery Strategy (from 2017-2022) and the Action Plan (from 2018-2023). The recovery goal for boreal caribou is to achieve self-sustaining local populations in all 51 ranges across Canada to the extent possible. Achieving this goal for all local populations will take decades and require commitment, collaboration, and cooperation"--Executive summary, page ii.
