Bathurst Caribou Regional Gathering

The WRRB and Tłįcho Government are co-hosting a gathering in Behchokò January 29-31, 2013 that will bring together harvesters of the Bathurst Caribou herd from the NWT, Nunavut and Saskatchewan.  This will be the first gathering of its kind for the Bathurst Caribou. 

Elders, harvesters and youth have been invited to share their knowledge, experiences and ideas for managing the herd they depend on.  During the three-day workshop, delegates will discuss their experiences with the Bathurst Caribou, past and present; and look at ways the herd can be best managed in the future. 

Taking a grassroots approach, the gathering aims to promote community stewardship of the Bathurst Caribou--and guide wildlife management authorities, including the WRRB, in management planning for the herd.
