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.
