Connexions Calendar

The Future Survival of the Boreal Caribou


April 13, 2011


Description: Boreal caribou are magnificent creatures of great beauty that can survive under austere conditions few other species could tolerate. They are revered by the indigenous people of the north and have provided them with subsistence for millennia. But they have declined greatly in numbers over the last hundred years and have disappeared from about half of their former range. Now they have been officially designated as a threatened species. Progress towards a recovery plan has been slow, in part because the problem is genuinely difficult. Guest speaker Dr. Peter Flood, Professor Emeritus Department of Veterinary Biomedical Sciences University of Saskatchewan, will start with a discussion of the basic biology of boreal caribou and progress to an analysis of the action that might be taken to ensure its continued survival in Saskatchewan. Event co-sponsored by the J.S. Wood Library and the Saskatchewan Environmental Society.
