Resolution
98-034
Whereas the NWMB shares the concerns
of the Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development (DRWED)
about the status and fate of the Peary caribou in the Arctic Islands,
and
Whereas the NWMB believes that maintenance of a captive breeding herd may
well be feasible, and might confer a number of benefits and advantages
for the conservation and management of Peary caribou, the NWMB is skeptical
about the practical feasibility of reintroducing a large mammal that has
been extirpated from its natural range by factors operating on a global
scale, such as is probably the case in this instance, and
However, the NWMB notes the current recorded opposition to the proposal
from the Resolute Bay and Grise Fiord HTOs and from the Inuvialuit Wildlife
Management Advisory Council, who share this caribou resource, and
Whereas the NWMB believes that the risk of delaying concerted action for
one more year is acceptable and manageable,
Therefore the NWMB does not approve the application to capture and transport
25 caribou from the High Arctic to the Calgary Zoo at this time, but urges
DRWED to:
1. Continue to study the matter in all its aspects: biological,
social, economic, etc.
2. Consult locally, regionally, and with the Inuvialuit,
with the object of obtaining concurrence and building a consensus on action to
be taken.
3. Explore options for developing a Peary caribou refugium
in the Arctic.
The NWMB further notes that if Inuit concurrence and support can be obtained
soon, the NWMB is prepared to reconsider the matter promptly.
