NEW PAPER: We followed the fate of 40 caribou herds —the southern mountain caribou population—to assess their trajectory and response to recovery actions. What we found was surprising and bitter sweet: dramatic declines but recent recovery due to controversial measures. 🧵 (1/n)

Great evening with some @Y2Y_Initiative friends discussing wildlife conservation and coexistence in the Elk Valley and beyond. Awesome to have graphics from Rush Studios and Fuse anchoring our discussions. Exciting solutions for highway collisions and bear conflicts brewing.
Despite the tall talk and good promises on conservation from Canada and BC, leaders of some of the much older governments here are losing trust in federal and provincial commitment. Important story here from @thenarwhalca's @ainscruickshank: thenarwhal.ca/bc-flathead-co…
