Caribou Migration

Caribou migration is the seasonal movement of herds across Arctic and subarctic regions, driven by changes in food availability and climate. During spring, they travel from wintering grounds to calving areas rich in nutrient resources. In summer, they forage and grow their calves, then migrate back in fall to wintering grounds with more suitable conditions. Covering thousands of miles annually, this migration is vital for their survival, helping them avoid harsh weather and access fresh forage. It’s a highly coordinated, instinctive behavior that has evolved over generations to maintain the health and sustainability of the caribou herds.
