Woodland Caribou Conservation Plan

Woodland Caribou are native to Ontario’s northern forests. They are an important indicator of the healthy boreal forest ecosystem on which they rely. As one of several jurisdictions responsible for managing the northern boreal forest, Ontario has an important role in Woodland Caribou stewardship.

The purpose of Ontario’s Woodland Caribou Conservation Plan is to:

• provide broad policy direction regarding Woodland Caribou conservation and recovery;
• summarize the actions the Government of Ontario intends to take in response to recommendations in the Ontario Woodland Caribou Recovery Strategy and the government’s priorities in taking those actions (Government Response Statement); and
• outline initiatives to support Woodland Caribou recovery.
