Caribou herds in B.C. and Alberta have grown nearly 50%, mostly due to wolf culls, study finds
April 23, 2024
Fresh research suggests Western Canada's once-dwindling caribou numbers are finally growing. But the same paper concludes the biggest reason for the rebound is the slaughter of hundreds of wolves, a policy that will likely have to continue for decades.
In 2007, the conservation biologist J. Bruce Falls and his wife, Ann Falls, published a research paper that began: “We trapped deer mice in Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada, over a 36-year period.”For Prof. Falls, who was 83 at the time, it was a matter-of-fact statement. For those who understood the challenge of conducting long-term field studies before the era of digital archiving, it could only be the product of someone with an extraordinary motivation and passion for understanding the hidden rhythms of the natural world.
