Jasper National Park

Woodland caribou herds in Jasper National Park have declined by 33% in the last 14 years. As of 2006 it is estimated that only 151 Caribou are left in south Jasper National Park. CPAWS Northern Alberta is working with Parks Canada and the Jasper Environmental Association to ensure that ski hill expansion at Marmot Basin ski area does not disrupt important Caribou habitat.
