Our Mandate
The Porcupine Caribou Management Board (PCMB) is an advisory board established under the Porcupine Caribou Management Agreement (1985) to communicate information about the herd and provide recommendations to agencies responsible for managing the herd. The key objectives of the PCMB are to:
- Facilitate communication between Porcupine Caribou users, the public, researchers and managers to support sustainable, coordinated management of the herd;
- Gather and review scientific and traditional information on the herd and its habitat;
- Encourage all harvesters to collect biological information and report their harvest;
- Have public forums to share information and discuss issues with users and other interested groups; and
- Provide recommendations to relevant agencies responsible for the management of the Porcupine Caribou herd and its habitat and share these recommendations with the public.
Annual Harvest Meeting
Each year, the PCMB and the Parties to the Porcupine Caribou Harvest Management Plan meet during the second week of February to determine the management status of the herd.The three-day event includes a public meeting to share information on the current status of herd, followed by a meeting among the Parties and the PCMB. The PCMB then meets alone to develop a recommendation on the herd’s management status. This recommendation is then sent to all the Parties for their approval.
