Climate change emerging as biggest caribou threat: study
Habitat loss has long been considered the principle cause for concern
“There are a litany of reasons to do restoration and caribou aren’t the only species on the landscape. I think it behooves society to undo the disturbances we’ve created”
Łutsel K'e #Dene#FirstNation#Chief James Marlowe is among those who think access to the winter road should be restricted.
"Our elders, back in 1990, 1993, when the mines were opening up … that was one forecast they expected to happen was, if there's an ice road, there's going to be hundreds of people going up that road to slaughter #caribou and waste meat," he said.
Join us for a special embroidery workshop that will transport you back to the Ice Age. Facilitated by the talented Ciara from The Wild Stitch, you’ll learn basic needle and embroidery skills while creating a Beringia themed masterpiece.
La stratégie de protection du caribou est encore reportée
"Le gouvernement Legault reporte encore une fois la publication du projet de « stratégie » gouvernementale pour tenter d’éviter la disparition du caribou forestier. La protection du cervidé menacé impliquera de préserver et de restaurer des pans entiers de la forêt boréale qui ont été dégradés par l’industrie forestière, prévient un expert de l’espèce."
Did you guys miss me? I had to make a trip to Anchorage, but I have pics for you. A lovely little family/herd of caribou. Just beautiful. #Alaska#AlaskaWildlife#Caribou
During its final days, the #Trump administration unlawfully issued leases to #drill for #oil on the refuge's fragile coastal plain where these animals live.
But the Arctic is already heating up at a rate four times faster than the rest of the planet. The stakes for this incredibly vulnerable place couldn't be higher.
The #Biden administration took the right action by canceling the severely flawed Trump-era leases.
Now we need to speak up and declare: The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is no place for oil drilling — period.
