Conserving a Boreal Icon – Manitoba’s Shadows of the Forest

As a species at risk, boreal woodland caribou present complex challenges for conservation of the species at the landscape scale. The presentation will explore boreal woodland caribou ecology and how it’s ecology contributes to these challenges. Additionally, we will take a look at recovery planning efforts in Manitoba and how these efforts fit within the national recovery planning framework across Canada.
