‘There’s 209 caribou in there and they are kind of our last shot in the southern-most caribou herds,’ said Eddie Petryshen of Wildsight.
Despite some recent success with caribou penning, a practice that involves protecting calves from predators, many herds of mountain caribou in our province still face extirpation. One of those herds is the Columbia North herd, whose habitat is once again under threat from newly proposed clear-cut logging in the North Shuswap .
However, Petryshen says a newly proposed clear-cut is threatening to destroy more than majestic western red cedars in the area.In fact, he claims there’s a proposal to clearcut 608 hectares of core caribou habitat.“There’s 209 caribou in there, and they are kind of our last shot in the southernmost caribou herds,” said Petryshen.
“It will create more food for moose and deer, which will create more predators and further predation risk to caribou,” said Robert Serrouya of UBC’s Wildlife Science Centre.Story continues below advertisement
