NWT Barren-ground Caribou Management Strategy

---

Caribou are one of the most important resources in the Northwest Territories. Like many species, caribou numbers fluctuate over time. Recent surveys and information from traditional knowledge indicate that caribou herds are currently declining across much of North America. Given this information, the Government of the Northwest Territories, working in cooperation with wildlife co-management boards, is taking action to ensure that caribou herds throughout the NWT remain healthy and are able to increase in size again.

The GNWT has updated the strategy to guide management actions for barren-ground caribou for the next five years.
