The Government of Nunavut Department of Environment and wildlife co-management partners from across Baffin Island will meet in Iqaluit July 23-24, 2013 to discuss the status of Baffin Island caribou.
The Department of Environment wants to clarify recent reports that an additional government restriction on the harvest of Baffin Island caribou was put in place in October.
The Minister of Environment has accepted a decision recommended by the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board (NWMB) to increase the Total Allowable Harvest (TAH) of Baffin Island Caribou effective immediately for 2022-2023 harvest season.
The Baffin Island Caribou harvest for 2023-2024 in Iqaluit is closed effective immediately. No further harvesting is allowed without an approved community allocation.
