Caribou numbers up 49 per cent after four-year wolf cull
« on: October 09, 2019, 11:54:50 AM »
The population of three mountain caribou herds in the South Peace region has risen by 49 per cent just four years into an experimental wolf cull program, according to a new analysis released by the provincial government.

Based on those findings, the report concludes “it is highly recommended that wolf reduction continue to be implemented” until the herds are self-sustaining
