Caribou Wildlands League

An environmental group is urging the Ontario government to haltall logging and road building in endangered woodland caribou habitat.

The Wildlands League says six out of nine known populations belowthe 51st parallel are at risk of collapsing.

The group says former habitats of six caribou populations havealready been disturbed by logging and wildfires and may no longersustain the species.

Woodland caribou are protected under Ontario's new Endangered Species Act but the government is still developing its conservation plan.
