Effectively extinct. That’s what scientists are saying about the rapidly declining caribou in Canada — and we don’t have much time to turn it around. ¹
 
This iconic Canadian animal once covered almost 80% of our country — but now, many herds have dwindled down to 10% of their original size. 
 
Canada already has a strategy to recover caribou populations — but the strategy isn’t mandatory, allowing provinces to drag their heels on necessary action.²
 
Conservation groups and Indigenous nations are fed up and are calling on the federal government to step in with an emergency order.³ And last May, Minister of Environment Jonathan Wilkinson said there’s a ‘high’ level of urgency and importance in taking federal action — but hasn’t done anything yet.⁴

With caribou disappearing at alarming rates, we don’t have time to wait. Will you add your name to the petition calling on Minister Wilkinson to take urgent federal action?
