Caribou conservation agreement engagement

Overview

The Government of Alberta is working towards an agreement with the Government of Canada that will set out how the two governments will work to stabilize and recover woodland caribou populations in Alberta.

Working with the Government of Canada on a draft agreement also reduces the risk of the federal government issuing an Emergency Protection Order or Critical Habitat Protection Order in relation to Alberta’s caribou populations or ranges, which could have negative effects on Alberta’s reputation, investor confidence, jobs and the economy.

Input received

Alberta Environment and Parks received feedback on the draft agreement through a survey available from August 8, 2019 to October 6, 2019.
