This report includes the preliminary results of an ongoing collaborative health assessment of the Dolphin and Union (DU) caribou herd based on samples collected from 2015-2019. Samples were obtained through community-based sampling of hunted animals (Kugluktuk, Cambridge Bay and Ulukhaktok) and from caribou captured and collared for population monitoring purposes by the Government of Nunavut.
