Climate Change

Climate Change is a very complex and very urgent issue that affects the health and sustainability of wildlife, humans and our shared environment. Luckily there are many things that we can do as humans to mitigate many of the negative effects on our planet and wildlife. By doing more for wildlife, we are fighting climate change together.

Featured species: Caribou

caribou

COSEWIC status: Threatened

The Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) is a medium-sized member of the deer family, Cervidae — cloven-hoofed cud-chewing animals. However, only in caribou do both males and females carry antlers. It has a short, stocky body, long legs and a long dense winter coat provides effective insulation, even during periods of low temperature and high wind. The muzzle and tail are short and well haired.

Caribou and climate change are so interconnected it would be nearly impossible to talk about one without the other — especially in today’s environment (pun intended). Wild caribou are not only a keystone species in the circumpolar north but they are vital to the livelihoods of the Inuit.

The time is now, as one person, to make one promise, to #DoMoreForWildlife for a healthier future on this planet, together.
