The NWT’s Department of Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) is taking new steps to protect the territory’s threatened boreal caribou population with the implementation of its first Interim Boreal Caribou Range Plan.
On March 22, the department announced that the first of five regional plans aimed at protecting the vulnerable boreal caribou population had been implemented in the Wek’èezhı̀ı area, in the western Tlicho region, including the community of Gameti.
