The provincial and federal governments have reached a bilateral agreement to help protect and conserve woodland boreal caribou populations in the province.
The provincial government will receive $5.4-million in federal funding to help protect the Mealy Mountain, Lac Joseph and critically-endangered Red Wine woodland caribou herds in Labrador.
The work will focus on research, monitoring, and Indigenous engagement for future management of Labrador’s boreal caribou.
The plan will be implemented over a four-year period.
