Protect Endangered Mountain Caribou

The globally unique Inland Temperate Rainforest is a home to an equally unique species: the mountain caribou. Clearcut logging threatens the ecological health of the Inland Rainforest; in the past seven years, nearly one third of the last mountain caribou on Earth have been wiped out. Now, about nineteen hundred remain -making the mountain caribou, along with polar bears, one of the most endangered large mammals in North America.

ForestEthics works to organize and protect the mountain caribou habitat by raising awareness in the public and the media and negotiating with businesses and the government of British Columbia, Canada. New initiatives to help the smaller herds — that are struggling to survive because they have too few members — involve re-locating pregnant females from larger herds into smaller ones, and then guarding the new calves until they are better able to defend themselves against predators.

Your gift will support indigenous First Nations community members to care for female caribou while they are pregnant, and to guard the new calves. This offering will protect mountain caribou against extinction and sustain First Nations communities in the lush rainforest of the North.
