Porcupine Caribou Conservation Plan

Why we are creating the plan

Conservation Planning for the
Porcupine Caribou Herd

The PCMB is working on behalf of the Parties to create a conservation plan for the Canadian portion of the herd’s range. This plan will provide managers and communities with guidance for making important decisions about the herd and its habitat.

This plan will provide managers and communities with guidance for making important decisions about the herd and its habitat.

The plan will build on existing conservation and land use planning efforts made by the Parties to protect the herd.

If barren-ground caribou are listed as “Threatened” under the federal Species at Risk Act, a national recovery strategy will be required. This Porcupine Caribou specific Conservation Plan will inform the national recovery strategy if caribou are listed.

Contributing to A National Recovery Strategy

Traditional Knowledge observation has occurred for as long as people have lived alongside the herd. In addition, the herd has been scientifically studied since the early 1970s.

Blending Knowledge

The Porcupine Caribou Management Board is undertaking a Traditional Knowledge Mobilization project.

This project will allow existing Traditional Knowledge to be accessed and blended in the plan with scientific information to create a comprehensive and robust plan.
