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 February 2009, the BC government legalized critical new habitat protections for caribou. But the work is not yet complete. The government must finish work to ensure habitat protected from forest development is not degraded by inappropriate recreation, mineral exploration, or energy development. The Mountain Caribou Project continues its work to recover and protect mountain caribou, unique in all the world.
