Herds have been declining across the country at an alarming rate and may soon become extinct in some areas. Meanwhile, our federal government is not providing the leadership required to halt this crisis in the forest.\r\n\r\nThe caribou is a key indicator of how the forest is doing. Put simply, a healthy caribou population means a healthy boreal. And by protecting its habitat, we can not only support many other species, but we can also help fight climate change.\n                        <\/p>\n                    \n\n                \n                        <div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n                            \n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-cta\">\n                            <a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/act.greenpeace.org\/page\/23495\/action\/1\" target=\"\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\n                                Take action now\n                            <\/a>\n                        <\/div>\n                    \n\n                <\/div>\n                <figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\"\n                        src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-canada-stateless\/2018\/06\/GP03QUW.jpg\"\n                        alt=\"\"\n                        sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 601px) 50vw, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-canada-stateless\/2018\/06\/GP03QUW.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-canada-stateless\/2018\/06\/GP03QUW-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-canada-stateless\/2018\/06\/GP03QUW-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-canada-stateless\/2018\/06\/GP03QUW-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-canada-stateless\/2018\/06\/GP03QUW-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-canada-stateless\/2018\/06\/GP03QUW-340x340.jpg 340w\" class=\"wp-image-1393 size-full\"\n                    \/>\n                <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                \n                <\/div>\n                \n                <\/div>\n                \n                <div data-render=\"planet4-blocks\/columns\" data-attributes=\"{&quot;attributes&quot;:{&quot;columns_block_style&quot;:&quot;no_image&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:[{&quot;title&quot;:&quot;The problem&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;The caribou\\u2019s habitat remains unprotected in vast areas across Canada.
