Deadlines for important caribou range plans are approaching. Alberta has committed to adopt enforceable land-use plans, plans detailing how we will pursue economic and social priorities within important wildlife habitat thresholds. The province promised that, by the end of 2021, it will finalize its first two such landuse plans covering the Bistcho caribou range in the northwest, and Cold Lake-Christina caribou ranges in the northeast.

When citizens and their representatives in government fail to place a high value on wilderness as a resource in itself, then its disappearance – especially in reasonably accessible locations – is swift and certain.
