Caribou, the majestic species pictured on our 25-cent coins, are iconic Canadian wildlife. Yet in the Arctic, they’re under threat. According to recent estimates, some herds have decreased by more than 95 per cent, making the plight of barren-ground caribou one of Canada’s most urgent wildlife concerns.
Your tax-deductible gift will support WWF-Canada’s work to help barren-ground caribou populations in Canada’s Arctic. We work with policy makers and communities in the Arctic to protect caribou calving grounds, commission research to monitor the population of herds and create conditions so that herds can make a comeback. WWF-Canada has a long record of success in building sustainable development solutions that benefit wildlife, nature and people.
