Mountain caribou are one of the most critically endangered animals in North America, relying entirely on old-growth forest in the world’s only Inland Temperate Rainforest. Thanks to support from people around the world, in 2009 the BC government legalized 2.2 million ha of critical habitat protections for caribou. Now the government must finish work to ensure caribou habitat is not degraded by inappropriate recreation, mineral exploration, or energy development. The Mountain Caribou Project continues its work to recover mountain caribou, unique in all the world.
