Caribou

An alternative to wolf control to save endangered caribou. The iconic woodland caribou across North America face increasing predation pressures from wolves. A short-term solution to caribou conservation would be to kill wolves. But a new government policy looks at reducing the invasive species moose numbers propping up the wolf population. Researchers have now evaluated the effects of this policy on the caribou population. Source 2e.

Caribou

With man taking over more and more territory you are causing the wild life to be in a smaller more compact area and that makes it hard for all species to survive the way they should. Limiting the number of some species will help all the species. Thus to help the Caribou we need to reduce the number of moose.
