Yukon Porcupine Caribou Management: Harvest Regulations and Annual Meeting Insights

DESCRIPTION

The February 2012 Annual Caribou Harvest Meeting highlighted key changes in Yukon’s harvest management. The PCMB recommended a "Yellow Zone" management regime, limiting licensed hunters to one bull, while allowing unlimited bull harvest for Aboriginals, with mandatory harvest reporting. Following a successful collaboration, the herd moved to a "Green Zone," permitting licensed hunters to take two bulls. The meeting addressed issues such as the Dempster Highway regulations and ongoing educational programs for hunters, emphasizing the importance of stakeholder involvement in future harvest management.
