For millennia, caribou have roamed their Upper Smoky rangelands in west central Alberta. In recent decades they’ve lost nearly all their intact habitat due to unmanaged industrial impacts. Tragically, these caribou are now propped up by the province’s controversial annual wolf cull.

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.
