More talk than action on increasing caribou protection: federal report
An Environment Canada report says that despite much talk on preserving caribou habitat, little progress has been made to close gaps in the protection of the threatened species.
The agency says not much has changed since a coast-to-coast survey in April.
“Despite the progress being made, the gaps in protection, as described in the first progress report, remain,” says the report issued Friday.
“Additional efforts, including those noted in this report, are needed to reverse the loss of critical habitat and declines in boreal caribou populations.”
