Protect Mountain Caribou Habitat in British Columbia
One of the most endangered mammals in North America, the mountain caribou has been reduced to under 1,900 animals by a combination of logging of old-growth forest habitats, road building, and motorized recreation. Primarily found in the mountains of British Columbia, a small number of animals still cross the border into parts of Idaho, eastern Washington and Montana, where they are protected as an endangered species under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. In Canada, the British Columbia government is currently deciding how much old-growth forest habitat it will protect for caribou. Your comments are needed to ensure this globally unique animal receives the protection it deserves.
