The Arrow Lakes Caribou Society has released a second video about the southern mountain caribou herd in the Central Selkirk Mountains. Credits to Producer and Narrator Christine Nielsen, Cinematographers Bohdan Doval and Derek Frankowski, and Editor Carlo Alcos for creating a beautiful film!
This sequel gives the viewer more details about capturing the adult females in the spring, what happens after they give birth, and the growth of the calves.
As well, we heard from the provincial Caribou Recovery Program about why recovery is necessary and so important.
Thank you to the video project funders for making this project possible!

The Central Selkirk herd of southern mountain woodland caribou are a species at risk under the BC Species at Risk Act. The Arrow Lakes Caribou Society has taken action to recover this caribou herd by constructing a caribou maternity pen in the Selkirk Mountains near Nakusp, BC. The maternity pen and other recovery actions are leading to increased calf survival, and therefore, herd population increases and eventual recovery.
