The mountain caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) herd that ranges through Mount
Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks and the forests north of Revelstoke creates special
challenges for management in this area. This has heightened the interest in applying
forest management strategies that may simulate the desired old-growth structure that
caribou rely on for survival. This area supports approximately 400 (Flaa and McLellan in
press) of a total population of 2,400 mountain caribou (Simpson, et al. 1997). This has
led to provincial, national and international interest in their maintenance. Caribou are
considered an umbrella species; that is, the protection of caribou habitat will also serve to
protect the habitat of many other species dependent on old-growth forests.
