Investigating the Multi-Faceted Factors Impacting Caribou Conservation Challenges, in Canada
Keywords:
Caribou populations, Habitat fragmentation, Climate change impacts, Anthropogenic infra structures, Conservation policies
Abstract
The declining caribou populations in Quebec face an array of factors that contribute to their conservation crisis. These include climatic and human-induced causes. The expansion of activities like logging and mining has led to the fragmentation of their habitats posing significant challenges to their survival. Habitat disturbances, combined with the effects of climate change, have resulted in changes to food availability and migration patterns while also making them more vulnerable to predators, wolves. Additionally anthropogenic infrastructure development and recreational activities such as hunting further compound the difficulties these species encounter in maintaining populations.
The caribou conservation issue is further complicated by emerging health risks associated with diseases and parasites. These health concerns may have emerged due to interference or changing climate conditions. The presence of these diseases along with increased predation pressure has led to a rise in mortality rates among caribou populations.
Apart from environmental challenges, policy barriers also contribute to exacerbating the situation. Canada's diverse provinces and territories face challenges in implementing conservation policies due to the lack of uniformity and conflicts between interests and conservation goals. To address this issue, it is crucial to adopt a collaborative strategy that ensures the long-term survival of caribou within the wilderness.
