The following section provides an introduction to important aspects of caribou co-management. You will first be introduced to caribou and learn about their life-cycle and migratory patterns, while considering how people relate to caribou in the Arctic. The different ecosystems that caribou live in are then presented with consideration of how climate change and resource development projects are affecting these ecosystems and caribou themselves. Finally, wildlife co-management is introduced and discussed as it relates to caribou in the Canadian North.
