Overview

Residents were asked to have their say on the development of a Framework for Boreal Caribou Range Planning to guide the development of five regional boreal caribou range plans between, 2019 and 2023.

Boreal caribou are a Threatened species under federal and territorial species at risk legislation. External factors such as habitat disturbance from industrial development and forest fires can negatively impact the health and survival of boreal caribou populations. Range planning is necessary to ensure at least 65 per cent of the NWT range is maintained as undisturbed habitat.
