This video explains the Calving Ground Photo Survey method used to count Bathurst and Bluenose-East caribou. Caribou are valued by Northerners as a very important part of their culture, and part of the land. We know from traditional knowledge that barren-ground caribou populations have gone through big changes over time. For the last fifty years, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources has been tracking those changes together with our co-management partners. Knowing how caribou are doing today helps us manage the herds for tomorrow.
