The Bluenose-West Caribou Herd Action Plan describes the specific actions that will carry out the principles and goals outlined in Taking Care of Caribou: the Cape Bathurst, Bluenose-West, and Bluenose-East barren-ground caribou herds Management Plan.  The Bluenose-West caribou herd's status is assessed each year.  The Action Plan will be adjusted as needed to reflect the current status of the herd. 

Technical Report on the Cape Bathurst, Bluenose-West, and Bluenose-East Barren-Ground Caribou Herds

The ACCWM has developed the Taking Caribou of Caribou management plan for the Cape Bathurst, Bluenose-West, and Bluenose-East barren-ground caribou herds, addressing the needs to: develop a cooperative approach to managing for the herds; protect the habitat in the herds’ range; and make decisions on the shared harvests in an open and fair manner. The plan was developed in consultation with most of the communities that harvest from the three herds. The ultimate goal was to ensure that there are caribou today and for future generations.
