VIDEO: 13 caribou born in maternity pen released into the B.C. wild
The caribou were part of the organization’s Maternity Pen Project, an effort to help protect and preserve the endangered animal. The release of the caribou on July 22 marks the completion of the first year of the project.
Since their release, the society and provincial researchers have tracked the caribou’s location using GPS collars. The caribou were captured in March and brought to the pen by a 32-person team which included helicopters and snowmobiles.Between May 24 and June 11, six calves were born at the site. The eldest of the pack birthed a stillborn and passed away 16 days later due to an infection.
The project was conducted with support from the provincial government’s Caribou Recovery Program and the Ministry of Land, Water and Resource Stewardship as well as the Ktunaxa Nation.
