Since 1982, hunters, biologists and wildlife managers have advised governments and agencies how to best manage the more than half-million Beverly and Qamanirjuaq barren-ground caribou, which migrate in two herds across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

Mounting industrial development in Canada's resource-rich Arctic and sub-Arctic ensures the conservation efforts of the BQCMB will remain vital for the welfare of Dene, Inuit, Métis, Cree and other caribou-range residents who have always hunted caribou, and for others who cherish the vast caribou herds.
