If there is going to be an effective caribou protection and recovery plan rooted in First Nations decision-making, it needs to be based in habitat protection. The jobs versus environment narrative is a false premise to look at caribou recovery and is rooted in 20th century thinking. We need to look ahead at transition planning so that a healthy economy and healthy caribou populations can once again nurture one another.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 -30-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>For more information:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marie Moucarry, Communications Officer, Greenpeace Canada, <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">+1 438 993-6127, <\/span><a href=\"mailto:marie.moucarry@greenpeace.org\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">marie.moucarry@greenpeace.org<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-1207 \"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Image\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"cover-card-overlay\"\n\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/canada\/en\/protect-the-woodland-boreal-caribou\/\" \n\t\t\t><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-canada-stateless\/2018\/06\/GP03QUW-1024x1024.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"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-150x150.jpg 150w, 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, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-canada-stateless\/2018\/06\/GP03QUW.jpg 1200w\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 358px, (min-width: 780px) 313px, 88px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Woodland Caribou in Canada\" title=\"Woodland Caribou in Canada\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n            \t\t\t<div class=\"boxout-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"boxout-heading medium\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Title\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/canada\/en\/protect-the-woodland-boreal-caribou\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tProtect the Woodland Boreal Caribou\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"boxout-excerpt\">After 5 years of delaying, provinces and territories have failed to follow through with measures to protect the boreal woodland caribou.
