*** About Caribou: Caribou, also known as reindeer in Europe, are a species of deer native to arctic and subarctic regions, including northern Canada. These animals are critical to the biodiversity of their habitats and play significant roles in the cultural lore of various indigenous groups across the northern Hemisphere. Recognized for their incredible migrations, some herds travel over 5,000 kilometers annually, making it one of the longest migrations among terrestrial mammals. The caribou is not only a symbol of the wilderness but also an integral part of the ecosystem, influencing both the biological community and the human cultures that depend on them. As climate change impacts their habitats, the preservation of caribou populations remains a topic of critical environmental concern.
