The Recovery Strategy for Woodland Caribou (Boreal population) in Labrador is a document prepared by the Labrador Woodland Caribou Recovery Team to identify recovery strategies deemed necessary, based on sound biological principles, to protect and recover sedentary Woodland caribou. This Recovery Strategy was prepared in response to the designation of the Lac Joseph, Red Wine Mountains and Mealy Mountains caribou herds as ‘Threatened’ under the Endangered Species Act of Newfoundland and Labrador on July 31, 2002 (ESA E-10.1, 2001). The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) has also designated sedentary Woodland caribou, including these herds, as ‘Threatened’ in 2001, and they are listed in Schedule 1 of the federal Species at Risk Act (SARA) as well.
