Wolf kill not the solution for Alberta's Little Smoky caribou
The Little Smoky Caribou herd is one of Alberta's most endangered woodland caribou herds. Industrial activities in their range have led to a serious loss of suitable habitat that is threatening the very existence of this herd.
The government of Alberta has decided that the best way to protect the Little Smoky caribou herd is a wolf cull. Killing predators is a last-resort option where caribou populations are in crisis. Caribou need secure habitat in which populations can be restored. But in Alberta, the needs of caribou are being trumped by resource extraction.
You can help by writing a letter to David Coutts, Alberta's Minister of Sustainable Resource Development, to let the Alberta government know that habitat protection must be a priority if caribou are to survive.
