| Manitoba Woodland Caribou Strategy | 17 October 15 |
Boreal caribou were listed as threatened in Manitoba in 2006 under the Endangered Species and Ecosystems Act. To date industry and Manitoba Hydro have not been required to avoid woodland caribou habitat when expanding operations. No fines or charges under the Act for impacts on habitat have occurred since 2006. Wildlife biologists estimate there are 1,500 to 3,100 woodland caribou roaming Manitoba's forests in no fewer than 15 overlapping population clumps known as ranges, scattered across a broad swath of the province from the Churchill River in the northwest to Nopiming Provincial Park in the southeast.
