Today the herd count was at 187 — up from just 38 caribou in 2013. Thanks to collaborative Indigenous-led conservation — including maternal penning, habitat restoration, and protection — this herd is growing. Y2Y is proud to support this effort.

The pen is part of a world-renowned recovery program led by West Moberly and Saulteau First Nations. Caribou are vital to ecosystems and Treaty 8 way of life, but face extinction threats. Caribou guardians made sure the calves were safe before they rejoined the herd in Klinse-Za/Twin Sisters Park.
