13th North American Caribou Workshop October 25-28, 2010 - Winnipeg MB

6/9/2010 5:05:49 PM

In October 2010, Winnipeg will be hosting this important workshop at a time when caribou populations throughout North America are under increased scrutiny, and woodland caribou are recognized as threatened or endangered and have become a high profile species.

This workshop will bring together caribou biologists, managers, Aboriginal groups, researchers, students and resource users throughout North America.

The workshop theme, Sustaining Caribou and their Landscapes – Knowledge to Action, provides participants with the opportunity to share both scientific and traditional knowledge for sustaining caribou populations. The workshop will increase awareness that will lead towards ensuring the long-term persistence of caribou throughout North America and its circumpolar range.
