Summary:
The iconic woodland caribou across North America face
increasing predation pressures from wolves. A short-term solution to caribou
conservation would be to kill wolves. But a new government policy looks at
reducing the invasive species moose numbers propping up the wolf population.
Researchers have now evaluated the effects of this policy on the caribou
population.
