Abstract
Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) play a central role in the ecology and culture of much of Canada, where they were once the most abundant cervid. Most populations are currently declining, and some face extirpation. This paper critically reviews hypotheses to explain caribou declines. It also examines why currently little is being done to stop anthropogenic sources of caribou endangerment, and why most attempts to ensure recovery appear to have failed.
