Across Canada, many caribou populations are in deep trouble. In the South Peace region of Northern British Columbia, logging, oil and gas exploration, and coal mining have significantly altered the landscape, opening up the forest and pushing mountain caribou away from their traditional range. Most of the herds now only have a handful of animals surviving. In the face of imminent extinction, First Nations are taking extreme measures to save their caribou herds. The film intimately profiles the connections between First Nations and mountain caribou, explores the threatened habitat, and the choices that have to be made to conserve this Canadian iconic species. This film has been produced by the Wilderness Committee (https://www.wildernesscommittee.org), a non-profit group based in Vancouver with field offices in Victoria, Winnipeg, and Toronto. The Wilderness Committee's mission is protect Canada’s biological diversity through strategic research and grassroots public education.
